Using a Client JAR file to expose classes to WAR

[fabiomiranda]

Hi,

     I have the following issue deploying my App:

     I have a Core EAR app which has the business classes (EJBs, JMS, etc)... the common classes are placed in a common xxx-client.jar to be used by the WAR (it used to be inside WEB-INF/lib). But when I migrate from jboss6 to JBoss AS 7.1.1, I'm facing a lot of exception telling me the classes werent found... threw load() exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: petstore.exception.StoreException from [Module "deployment.PetStoreWeb.war:main" from Service Module Loader]

     I guess that the WAR app is not charging the classes available in the XXX-client.jar placed into the WEB-INF/lib folder inseide the WAR.

     Someone had faced this problem?

Cheers,

Fabio

Is the WAR inside the EAR or external to it?

In a External WAR file...

I have a client jar, that contains the remote classes, Exceptions, POJOs tha goes inside myweb.war/WEB-INF/lib

There is a Business Delegate class that access all methods exposed by the Façade EJB (SLSB).

The problem is that deploying this way, the business delegate is looking up the remote EJB but it cant see the classes in client.jar file.

Any guess?
