Putting richfaces jar in deploy/lib

[gwzoller]

Hello,

I have several EAR files each containing the richfaces jar.  The apps work fine in JBoss 6 M3.  I want to pull the RF jar out and put them in a common place like deploy/lib.

When I do this I get exceptions, exactly like this guy: https://community.jboss.org/thread/154431?tstart=0

He asked the JBoss beginner group but perhaps this is a richfaces thing?

Does anyone have a recipe to follow that will allow the richfaces jar to live peacefully in deploy/lib?

Thanks,
-gz

I think I got it.  Dug this up on Google.

Put a jboss-app.xml file in your ear's META-INF directory with contents similar to:

<jboss-app>
      <loader-repository>
      aNameYouInventGoesHere:archive=MyApp.ear
      </loader-repository>
</jboss-app>

This will make sure your EAR gets its very own classloader, which at least for me resolved my jar-sharing issues.
