Ear classloading issue

[garethwebbley]

I have an ear file with and ejb-jar and a web application. There are several jar files which need to be shared between the ejbs and the web application. The ear structure looks something like this :-

EAR
|
- shared.jar
|
- ejb.jar
|
- webapp.war

The problem is that there is a Webapp Context Listener in the shared.jar file which is referenced from the war file web.xml. When webapp is started it fails with a ClassNotFoundException for the Listener class.

I have tried adding jboss-app.xml and jboss-web.xml files referencing the same loader-repository but this hasn't helped. Can anyone please tell me how I can debug this issue - I have tried changing log4j logging levels to dbeug but this hasn't given me any clues.

Thanks

Is shared.jar listed as a java module in your application.xml?

Doh!! Yes that seems to have fixed it. Thanks and sorry for the stupid question
