Hi,

While creating an example of Weld and Jboss AS6 (Final), I ran into the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.LinkageError: loader (instance of  org/jboss/classloader/spi/base/BaseClassLoader):
 attempted  duplicate class definition for name:
 "org/jboss/weld/examples/translator/web/org$jboss$weld$bean-jboss$classloader:id=
 "vfs:$$$users$oz$projects$weld-example$ear$target$weld-translator-web$ear"

    at org.jboss.weld.util.bytecode.ClassFileUtils.toClass(ClassFileUtils.java:109) [:6.0.0.Final]
 

The configuration contains two EAR files, ear1 with a WAR (that contains the JSF code) and an ejb-jar and ear2 containing ejb-jar only.

the error appears when both ejb-jars and the war contain a beans.xml file. The system loads fine when ear2's ejb-jar does not contain a beans.xml file.

Your help is greatly appreciated
