Cannot load class from another deployed ear

[vanjo_83]

Hi there, I have the following problem with version 4.0.3SP1: I deploy two J2EE applications (ears) and from one of them I try to load through reflection a class, which is located into the other ear. I get ClassNotFoundException. I deployed the same applications on version 3.2.5 and it worked fine. I tried to change the setting in ear-deployer.xml like this

<attribute name="Isolated">false</attribute>

but I still didn't work.
Can you help me with this issue please?

Guys, this doen't work even if the two components are part of one EAR. The one is .WAR, and the other is .JAR, described if application.xml as:

 <module>
 <web>
 <web-uri>TransporterWAR.war</web-uri>
 <context-root>transporter</context-root>
 </web>
 </module>
 <module>
 <java>PMS_Servlet.jar</java>
 </module>

Don't confuse, PMS_Servlet.jar is not a servlet, it's just the part of my application that should go to the servlet container

have you tried the ClassLoadingConfiguration instructions from the wiki-site?

Perhaps you can define a common loader-repository for both ears in their respective jboss-app.xml's

I solved the problem, changing this property like that

<attribute name="UseJBossWebLoader">true</attribute>

in ...deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml
and it works at least when the two modiles are in one ear. I haven't tried it when in two ears yet. About the ClassLoadingConfiguration I'm not sure if I understood everything in that article, but I added the following tags in jboss-web.xml and jboss-app.xml

<loader-repository>dot.com:loader=blablabla</loader-repository>

This didn't help. :(
I don't believe that this solution is the right one, so if anybody knows better it will be great to share it with me :)

Same problem and solution here. I found the same setting yesterday and it worked. I have a ServiceLocator which holds a reference to the SpringAppContext and it works fine now.
