Recieving ClassNotFoundException with sqljdbc4.jar using JBoss 6

[mgaffron]

I hope someone can help.  I am deploying an EAR file to JBoss 6.  If I use eclipse the project starts successfully. If I deploy outside of eclipse (i.e. place .ear in the deploy directory) I receive the following message:

DEPLOYMENTS IN ERROR:

  Deployment "vfs:///C:/ProgramData/JBoss6.1/jboss-as-distribution-6.1.0.Final/jboss-6.1.0.Final/server/default/deploy/CCM_EAR.ear" is in error due to the following reason(s): java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sqljdbc4.jar.com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.TypeInfo$Builder$14

The sqljdbc4.jar file is located in the ..\jboss-as-distribution-6.1.0.Final\jboss-6.1.0.Final\server\default\lib

I checked inside the sqlJDBC4.jar and it does containn the TypeInfo$Builder$14.

Thanks,

Hi,

the requested classname contains sqljdbc4.jar. (sqljdbc4.jar.com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.TypeInfo$Builder$14) The requested class is TypeInfo (com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.TypeInfo or com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.TypeInfo$Builder). I would propose to check your datasources for the correct class name and check your project (EAR) for access to the JDBC stuff. Make sure that you do not contain the driver-jar in your ear and deployment descriptors (application.xml, jboss-app.xml), because strange stuff like this may happen.

Best regards,

Mark

I remember seeing this strange jar already. I think it has a jar in a jar.

e.g. sqljdbc4.jar/sqljdbcs.jar or something similar

But can't remember now how we got past this issue.

If you recall how or even a direction to go on fixing the issue, please feel free to share at some point later!  It would be greatly appreciated.
