Hi all,

I'm having a problem isolating Hibernate in a working Tomcat 7.0.8 war-file when deploying it to JBoss AS 4.2.2 GA. I just spent and hour reading thorugh other topics like mine and testing local variations of jboss-web.xml (in WEB-INF) in order to get it to work. I also tried to include som unneeded dependencies in the application to shield it from Hibernate-internal lookups.

Is there any texts about how to port a fully functional Spring/Hibernate webapp (*.war) to JBoss? I do not need to use any Jboss facilities and the loss of execution speed that comes with isolation is acceptable. But I must use JBoss AS 4.2.2GA.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

My jboss-web.xml

<jboss-web>

   <loader-repository>

      com.example:archive=unique-archive-name

   </loader-repository>

   <loader-repository-config>

      java2ParentDelegation=false

    </loader-repository-config>

</jboss-web>

The problem
