JBoss update problems

grahamaj Oct 12, 2011 1:19 PM

Hello JBoss Community,

I have inherited a project that has long needed an upgrade. It has been running on JBoss 4.0.2 with an embedded Tomcat 5.5.9. Due to various vulnerablilities in the Tomcat version, the upgrade has become imperitive.

I would like to update to AS 7 but our project is running EJB 2.0 technology which won't be supported in AS 7 until 7.1. My attempts at deploying the project on AS 6.1.0 have been thrawted due to serveral incompatiblilities. I have worked out many of the issues, but now I am stuck on an exception coming from a ClassCastException complaining about the struts. Sadly the project uses an ancient version of struts (1.1). Could this be the reason for the deployment issues? If possible, it would be very nice to avoid a struts upgrade due to the vast amount of work that it would take to do so. Could this be fixed by using class loading isolation? Here is the output that the server yeilds upon deployment of our .ear
