signer information does not match signer information of other classes in same package

[rise.uday]

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade a working application from JBoss3.2.7 to JBoss5.1, one of the application uses lower version of xercesImpl.jar, however a higher version of same jar is in the endorced directory of JBoss5.1' lib folder, which causes the deployment to fail due to the issue "https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-7210?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel#issue-tabs"

hence i decided to move to 6.1, where while deployement I see the below exception

12:56:43,280 WARN  [ClassLoaderManager] Unexpected error during load of:org.apache.xerces.dom.ChildAndParentNode: java.lang.SecurityException: class "org.a

pache.xerces.dom.ChildAndParentNode"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package

i am wondering why this issue is encountered in 6.1, where as the same package was working perfectly fine with JBoss3.2.7. which leaves me with no choices. I am wondering what approach should I follow next. any suggestion is appriciated. can i try to move to JBoss7.1, will it work there?

thanks in advance for your help.

Why you move to JBoss5 or 6?

The current version is AS7, here you have a better control of classloading, see the documentation here

I suppose the issue is that two classes from xerces are picked up from different versions, which can easily happen in this JBoss versions. You have to isolate the classloaders.

thanks wolf for your recommendations!

just wanted to check "how" can i isolate classloaders in JBoss6 (if it is at the top of your head)?

Does this link help:

Configuration

Remember, this is for all AS except AS7.

AS7 Classloding is here.

AS7 will be different, I recommend to use AS7 if you are able to decide, this will be the base for further development.
