EAR deployer is not looking for the jar files from the relat

[mcevikce]

My ear file contains jar files and the manefest file had the path for these jars. But ear deployer is appending these paths defined in manifest file to location where it picked up the ear file.

Example: /usr/myuser/deploy/my.ear


Contents of the ear: /my.jar
my.war
application.xml
jboss-app.xml
there is a manifest file for both ear and war. Both have the same classpath for jars.
Content of the Manifest.mf: Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5
Created-By: 1.5.0_04-b05 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Class-Path: ./spring.jar


Now when jboss is deploting is says /usr/myuser/deploy/spring.jar not found. Why is it looking there for the jar file. It should be looking where it exploded the ear file, which is the tmp/deploy directory.

I have been running into the same problem, the only solution I have found is to turn on the JBoss unified(flat) classloader.

Go to server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcatXX.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml
and change the UseJBossWebLoader value to true.

The side effect of this is that the first instance of a class that is loaded will be used by all applications in JBoss, so if you are using a different version of a jar in one app than a different one you may/will get unexpected results.

BTW someone else has the same problems we are
