Deployment on Websphere 6.1 - problems and observations
Hi,
I'm deploying my Seam POJO application to Websphere 6.1.0.21 with EJB3 enabled. I make all the settings described in the Websphere deployment guide (thanks, Jay!), still the following error appears:

The same error appears with the jpa example application as well, and reinstall or stopping/starting the application doesn't help. I have all the Hibernate jars packed (even listed them in the manifest class path and yet, the startup doesn't work correctly), the 'PARENTLAST' classloader setting verified.
However, restarting the container resolves the problem, and then the application always runs correctly (so I guess, it's not a config issue).
Just to make things look a bit more complicated, if both my app and the jpa example are deployed, even after a WAS restart only one of them will initialize correctly, the other one throws the error above, as if there was some sort of a race condition (classloading issue??)...
So, I can confirm that Seam does run on WAS 6.1.0.21 (EJB3 enabled) - after a restart, but still this is not really a production ready resolution that the container needs to be restarted after every deploy (and 2 Seam apps cannot be deployed to the same container).
Any ideas/help on the root cause?
