ClassNotFoundException when using annotations
Hello forums,
I am porting an application form Jboss 3.2.6 to 4.2.1. After some minor tweaks, the application runs well. Then, I want to start taking advantage of new features, such as the usage of annotations instead of xdolcet.
I started with just one stateless session bean, removing the xdoclet comments and replacing them by @Stateless, etc.
The next deploymnet I get :
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: No ClassLoaders found for: com.xxx.xxx.xxx.MyClass[]
(see the complete stack trace below).
The class not being found has nothing to do with the statless session bean being converted. Even more, if I just remove the stateless session bean from the jar file, it goes back to deploying everything well.
The application is an EAR file, with a WAR file, a JAR file from common classes, and a JAR file with the EJBs (three total). Again, if left alone without any annotated classes, it works well.
This looks like a classloading problem. After much searching and wiki-reading, I didn't go any further. My question is, what impact does it have in the class loading process to have one class annotated? Is is OK to mix old-style ejbs (2.x) with new ones (EJB 3)?.
Thanks very much for any help or clue on how to solve this!!
