JBoss 5.1.0 All files under all/deploy directory loaded usin

[fjos]

We migrated a few days ago from JBoss 5.0.1 to 5.1.0 and are seeing various issues with class loaders. For ex: We see a class cast exception even for a Hibernate Class even though the hibernate libraries are in the lib directory. Another thing we noticed was that all the sar files under the deploy directory is having its own class loader (which was not the case until 5.1.0). Multiple sar files under deploy had the same class loaders, unless specified by the loader-repository in the jboss-service.xml. This seems to be different now.

The Question is: How do we keep all the sar files in the same class loader without specifying loader-repository in jboss-service.xml?

The JBoss AS Users forum http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=287 is a better place for this question. Some moderator would have to move this now.

Have you configured classloader scoping in your application?
