log4j classcastexception with alfresco WAR

[advaittrivedi]

Hi,

I have alfresco war deployed. When I start server it gives following exception:
=========================================
16:03:29,799 ERROR [STDERR] log4j:ERROR Could not create level [TRACE]. Reported error follows.
16:03:29,799 ERROR [STDERR] java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jboss.logging.XLevel

================================================

I dont have either log4j.jar or commons-logging.jar in alfresco/WEB-INF/lib.
I also tried adding this to WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jboss-web>
<class-loading java2ClassLoadingCompliance="true">
<loader-repository>
com.example:loader=alfresco.war
<loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=true</loader-repository-config>
</loader-repository>
</class-loading>
</jboss-web>

as well as this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jboss-web>
<class-loading java2ClassLoadingCompliance="false">
<loader-repository>
com.example:loader=alfresco.war
<loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=true</loader-repository-config>
</loader-repository>
</class-loading>
</jboss-web>

But to no avail, same exceptions still persist.

Thanks & Regards,

is it a question about a problem with alfresco ?
is there a problem with jboss portal ?
may be say a little more about your environement ?

Hi,

I am using JBoss portal 2.4 with AS 4.0.5_GA and Alfresco 2.0. The problem is about class loading in JBoss Portal. Nothing to do with Alfresco WAR.

Thanks & Regards,
