How to make jboss to see the new added jar to it's <jboss-ho

[ercanclk]

hi all,
I have a java project and a web project which uses the java project's classes.

How to make jboss to see the new added jar(i export my java project) to it's <jboss-home>common/lib folder without restarting the server. Because i noticed that jboss doesn't see the jars which are added to it's common/lib folder when it is running.

Sorry for my english. Please help.

Hi,

the standard way to add the classes from your java project to the web project is to build a JAR file from the Java project (as you do already) and place this JAR in WEB-INF\lib of the web project.

Hi,
Firstly, thank you for your reply. I tried what u say. I put the jar into the WEB-INF\lib of my web project. But when i test the application it throws error: classnotfoundexception. My web project needs some jars to run. The jars except my java project's jar are in <jboss-home>/common/lib folder. I think all the jars that my web project needs to run must be in <jboss-home>/common/lib folder( it works in this situation) or in WEB-INF\lib of my web project. if some jars are in <jboss-home>/common/lib, and some are in WEB-INF\lib of my web project doesn't seem to work. All of them must be in one folder.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I don't know much about JBoss classloading, but I found this article (I assume you use JBoss5):
http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossweb/freezone/docs/2.1.2/class-loader-howto.html

According to this document, only a small set of JARs from CATALINE_HOME/lib (I assume this points to "common/lib", as I find all the JARs from the classloader-howto in this directory) is loaded by the WebApp classloader.

But hopefully one of the "gurus" takes a look at this post and can provide you further help.
