updating classpath

[sasanplus]

Hi,

I am adding axis2 libraries to JBoss. I updated JBOSS_CLASSPATH in run.bat with the required jars (all axis2 jars) but I still get ClassNotFound exception. I tested the classpath by run.bat --help and everything is included. so my question is, why do I still get Classnotfound in my web service that is using axis2?

Do I need to update elsewhere? I have read through any threads (including JBoss forums) that I could find about this and I couldn't find the answer.

I appreciate if someone can shed some light on this.

Thanks,
Sasan

Do not edit the JBOSS_CLASSPATH in the run.bat. Just package those jar files in the WEB-INF/lib of your war.

I'm not sure if this is a good solution. My main intention is to let JBoss to provide the additional functionalities so that I don't have to wrap up all the jars in every application that might need them.

Actually that's exactly the opposite of the best practice :) Here's an explanation about this:
