seam/jboss/richfaces classloading problems

[schmod54]

Hello. I'm a newbie to seam. I'm using seam 2.0.0.B1 and jboss 4.2.0.GA.

I seam-genned a new project. I wanted to make my own richfaces tree... so I made a class that implements org.richfaces.component.TreeNode. Everything compiles and packages fine. But when I deploy, I get the following error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/richfaces/component/TreeNode
 at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)

I've tried playing with jboss class loading settings, and tried moving the location of various jars between my war's lib and my ear's lib, and tried putting various combinations of jars in my server/default/lib directory, but all I've succeeded in doing is getting different types of classloader errors. Can anyone give me specific instructions on how to subclass a richfaces component in a seam-gen structure? Thanks!

P.S. I suspect this is a problem with the embedded ejb container that seamgen made for me... do I need that container if I'm running my ear inside jboss? If not, how do I get rid of it? Thanks again!

Search the forum for the JBoss webloader workaround. In the long term a refactoring of Richfaces is underway to split out the api to remove the need for the workaround.

Thanks for the reply... but I've already regenerated the project using seam-gen to be packaged as a war.
