Hi,

JBoss AS just hangs and sits there utilizing max CPU when ear artifact with jboss-app.xml is deployed. Here is the line where it just hangs - ctxPath=/jmx-console

......
23:40:35,855 INFO  [SessionSpecContainer] Starting jboss.j2ee:jar=profileservice-secured.jar,name=SecureProfileService,service=EJB3
23:40:35,857 INFO  [EJBContainer] STARTED EJB: org.jboss.profileservice.ejb.SecureProfileServiceBean ejbName: SecureProfileService

23:40:40,393 INFO  [TomcatDeployment] deploy, ctxPath=/
23:40:40,502 INFO  [TomcatDeployment] deploy, ctxPath=/jmx-console

When ctrl-c, I get tons of exceptions. Attached is the server.log and here are snippets from that log.

23:42:02,647 WARN  [StartStopLifecycleAction] Error during stop for jboss.j2ee:jar=profileservice-secured.jar,name=SecureProfileService,service=EJB3

23:42:03,305 ERROR [HttpInvoker] Failed
java.lang.IllegalStateException: BaseClassLoader@2e7cf883{vfsfile:/usr/local/jboss/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/xyz/conf/jboss-service.xml} classLoader is not connected to a domain (probably undeployed?) for class java.net.MulticastSocket
          at org.jboss.classloader.spi.b

.ear file has a rar module within it and this rar runs quartz scheduler jobs. the rar module has the higher version of quartz.jar than the same jar available globally at common/lib. and, quartz.jar at common/lib was getting classloaded for this rar thereby causing exceptions due to version incompatibility. So, we add a jboss-app.xml in META-INT of the .ear...and here are the jboss-app.xml contents...but, then it hangs.

Work-around: Remove quartz.jar at the common/lib and everything works fine. But, thats not the solution we are looking for as its not clean and elegant. And, there is another thread (http://goo.gl/YH3Cu) with almost the same issue (except no eclipse in my case) but it is unanswered.

Any help here is greatly appreciated.
