lib works

josek Oct 27, 2012 7:40 AM

I’ve got a web app with `faces-config.xml` defined with a custom

<exception-handler-factory>

com.mydomain.exception.CustomExceptionHandlerFactory

</exception-handler-factory>

This deploys and **works fine when this class is part of the WEB-INF/classes of the war**.

Now when I move this class to a common.jar which is deployed in the Jboss EAR/lib – the EAR fails to deploy with the errors below – because the WAR cannot see the class

`java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.faces.context.ExceptionHandlerWrapper` which is found in the JBoss modules "jboss\runtimes\jboss-eap\modules\javax\faces\api\main\jboss-jsf-api_2.1_spec-2.0.2.Final-redhat-1.jar"

By default the WAR should see classes in the EAR/lib.

I’ve tried setting a classpath in the WAR Manifest but it didn’t work.

does anyone have experience in keeping this class in the EAR/lib and working? Something else I need to define?
