Single classloader for myApplication.ear

[shelvadi]

Hi,

I am trying to migrate our application from jboss 4.x to jboss 6.1.0.

Our application has 1 ear which bundles 95 java archives involving both EJB-jar and .war. It is a legacy application and EJB jars directly invoke other EJB jars in many causes.

I understand  the each resource inside ear will load inside its own classloader, how can I have a single classloader which loads all the modules inside our myApplication.ear so that all the jar\war are visible and accessible to each other within the scope of myApplication.ear

I went through - https://community.jboss.org/thread/232375    however, our project is too huge to repackage.

There should be no problem. See "EAR Class Loading" on Class Loading in AS7 - JBoss AS 7.1 - Project Documentation Editor.

Frank is right. By default you should not have any problems since the sub-deployments in an application are by default allowed to see resources of other sub-deployments even though the sub-deployments have a classloader of their own.
