Hello,

I have a ten years-old EJB2 application running on JBoss 6.1 (and also WebSphere) without any trouble. Because I want to use ORB PortableInterceptor, I have enabled Jacorb to switch from JNP to IIOP.

First JBoss complains with org.jboss.iiop.rmi.RMIIIOPViolationException, I have now fixed - even if IBM ORB seems to accomodate with my obviously non-compliant interfaces...

Now JBoss' WebCL is not able to deliver Stub for my Home and Remote interfaces and I have no idea what may be wrong. My only remaining hypothesis is that the RMIC compiler fails silently...

So how should I proceed to get the cause of this class loading failure and fix it ?

Here are logs when classloader verbosity is set to TRACE and the org.jboss.iiop.WebCL ERROR:
