"class-loader" configuration doesn't work

[arres]

Hi all,

I have a problem with my classloader configuration inside the EAR. I can't get it working. It would be very nice if someone of you could help me.

I am using JBoss 4.2.2.GA but the Hibernate version shipped with this JBoss seems to have a bug (http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-554). So I want to put the Hibernate jar files into my EAR and deploy it.

To do this I configured the classloader as described in this artikle: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/classloadingconfiguration

So this is my jboss-app.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jboss-app PUBLIC
    "-//JBoss//DTD J2EE Application 1.4//EN"
    "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-app_4_0.dtd">
<jboss-app>
  <loader-repository>com.overview:loader=overview.ear</loader-repository>
  <module>
    <service>META-INF/db2-ds.xml</service>
  </module>
</jboss-app>

But I still have the same exception as in the previous Hibernate version so I took a look where the classes came from and I saw, that they are still loaded from the server-lib directory:

[Loaded org.hibernate.cfg.OneToOneSecondPass from file:/D:/dev/jboss-4.2.2.GA-4test/server/overview/lib/hibernate-annotations.jar]
[Loaded org.hibernate.mapping.OneToOne from file:/D:/dev/jboss-4.2.2.GA-4test/server/overview/lib/hibernate3.jar]

This are the files in my EAR:

│   antlr-2.7.6.jar
│   backend-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
│   commons-collections-3.2.jar
│   commons-lang-2.3.jar
│   commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
│   db2jcc-1.0.jar
│   db2jcc_license_cu-1.0.jar
│   dom4j-1.6.1.jar
│   ejb3-persistence-1.0.2.GA.jar

│   hibernate-entitymanager-3.4.0.GA.jar
│   hibernate-search-3.1.1.GA.jar
│   hsqldb-1.8.0.2.jar
│   javassist-3.4.GA.jar
│   jboss-local-jdbc-4.2.2.GA.jar
│   jta-1.1.jar

│   lucene-core-2.4.1.jar
│   slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar
│   xml-apis-1.0.b2.jar
│
└───META-INF
        application.xml
        db2-ds.xml
        jboss-app.xml

Can someone help me to fix this problem.

Is that exactly how your .ear file looks like? Those jars should be placed in .ear/lib folder.

Yesss

Tank you. That was the problem...

I am using a maven plugin and this throws the jars into the root directory of the ear file by default.
