Configure class loading application wide? EJB cannot find w

[lpmon]

I have an ear with a web module and an EJB3 module. When my first EJB3 MBean tries to load it cannot find the classes in my web module's WEB-INF\classes folder nor in the WEB-INF\lib folder.

I suspect the secret maybe in jboss-app.xml but the docs are NOT CLEAR AT ALL or I have just not found the best docs.

This should be simple!

The servlet spec calls for isolated classloading. So by default, Web apps in JBoss do not share the same classloading cache as EJBs do. You'll have to modify this file:

[JBoss]/server/[configuration]/jboss-tomcat55.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml

and change to the following values:

true
true

Yes, the documentation on JBoss classloading is a bit esoteric.

Sorry, it cut out my XML. Here are the values you need to set.

<attribute name="Java2ClassLoadingCompliance">true</attribute>
<attribute name="UseJBossWebLoader">true</attribute>

Well, partly solved. It was a Tomcat class loading methodology issue.

The change below did the trick for me with the exception of loading order. The scheduler is still loading before my classes

Thanks to: Javid Jamae

THE FIX:

In file: [JBoss]/server/[configuration]/jboss-tomcat55.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml

Add or change these attributes to true:

true
true

I'm not sure which scheduler you are talking about, but you could try to use the PrefixedDeploymentSorter setting on the URLDeploymentScanner in the following file:

[JBoss]/server/[configuration]/conf/jboss-service.xml

Just use a numeric prefix on your application.

Or, using the regular deployment sorter you can put ".last" on your application to make sure that it is deployed last.
