[txie2000]

I have an application was deployed on Jboss 4.02. it was running fine. I'm upgrading to Jboss 4.0.3SP1. I got the ClassNotFoundException on a dom4j class which is needed in my deployable SAR.

I mean NoClassFoundError, not ClassNotFoundException

See http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1970

Thanks Peter, I just found this too. I added full dom4j.jar and jaxen.jar back to lib/, it works fine now.

How to make a better solution? I already put dom4j.jar and jaxen.jar into deploy\mydomain-rdsstartup.sar\ directory (part of deploy location in jboss-service.xml), apparently they are not being picked up by Jboss class loader.
