Class loading poilicy in JBoss

[vwashimkar]

Hi,
I am new to JBoss AS. I have a web application WAR file which uses JSF1.1 jars and there is a conflict with JBoss JSF jars which comes with the application server.

Here is my requirement :

The web application has 4 higher level packages :
t1,t2,t3,t4

I want that my webapp perfers classes from web-inf/lib directory over the application server JARs. I had put the following entry in the jboss-web.xml but does not help the cause. May be I am messing something.

<class-loading>
<loader-repository>
<loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=false</loader-repository-config>
</loader-repository>
</class-loading>

Please give an early reply.

The version of JBoss AS I am using is :

JBoss 5.1.0 and JBoss-4.2.3

First try things getting run in JBoss4.x to do so you should read this
http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/classloadingconfiguration

And for Jboss5 you should read this one

Hi,

there is a config parameter to tell JBoss not to use the bundled JSF implementation:
http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/JBoss5AndMyFaces

I used this with JBoss 4.2 and a newer JSF 1.2 version, but hopefully it also works with 5.x and older versions ;-).

Best regards

The solution you posted seems not working for JBoss 4.3.0 EAP. I am new to JBoss. Is JBoss 4.3.0 a product of RedHat & JBoss as I do not see that build in the JBoss download link . If not how do I get to download JBoss 4.3.0 .

JBoss EAP 4.3 is the for-subscription package. You can only download it from the Red Hat support site, and you need a support contract to access that site. EAP 4.3 is essentially JBoss AS 4.2.1 + Seam + JBoss Messaging + many bug fixes.
