classloading when deploying more than 1 war

[sblanc]

Hello,

when deploying 2 wars, it looks to me that the same classloaders are used. for instance I have properties and xml files with the same name in both wars WEB-INF/classes and once loaded per the first war to be deployed, the second war does not deploy the "duplicates" in the other (although the content is different):

$ ls -l deploy/sso.ear/sso.war/WEB-INF/classes/webwork.properties
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ ???????? 555 Jul 22 16:55 deploy/sso.ear/sso.war/W
EB-INF/classes/webwork.properties

$ ls -l deploy/sso.ear/sso.war/WEB-INF/classes/webwork.properties
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ ???????? 555 Jul 22 16:55 deploy/sso.ear/sso.war/W
EB-INF/classes/webwork.properties

few files rely on some 3PPs, so I can't rename the files.

I tried to play around with packaging (ear/war) but could not get something working. I checked the documentation for JBOSS classloading but did not find anything related to packaging.

Is there any way I can get this working with a configuration/packaging solution ?

Thanks.

Sebastien.

Edit the tomcat sar jbossweb-tomcat41.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml descriptor to disable the use of the inheritted ear class loader by setting the UseJBossWebLoader value to false:

 <!-- A flag indicating if the JBoss Loader should be used. This loader
 uses a unified class loader as the class loader rather than the tomcat
 specific class loader.
 -->
 <attribute name="UseJBossWebLoader">false</attribute>

that works fine. Thanks a lot !
