Hello,

I'm trying to use a custom Resource Adapter in JBoss 7.1.1, witch was previously deployed under JBoss 5.

After some minor changes (equals() and hashcode(), Referenceable), the RAR deploys successfully if alone in standalone/deployments.

I also added mdb declaration to EJB3 subsystem

<mdb>
    <resource-adapter-ref resource-adapter-name="my-jca.rar"/>
    <bean-instance-pool-ref pool-name="mdb-strict-max-pool"/>
</mdb>

and the complete resource-adapters subsystem from standalone-full.xml

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:resource-adapters:1.0">
    <resource-adapters>
        <resource-adapter>
            <archive>my-jca.rar</archive>
            <transaction-support>NoTransaction</transaction-support>
            <connection-definitions>
                <connection-definition class-name="com.corp.outbound.MyImplManagedConnectionFactory"
                                               jndi-name="java:/eis/MyEIS">
                </connection-definition>
            </connection-definitions>
        </resource-adapter>
    </resource-adapters>
</subsystem>

Since RA deploys, I think its definition and configuration is fine.

However, my application (EAR packaging) throws ClassNotFoundException on my MessageListener implementation when deploying, even when I add this jboss-deployment-structure.xml in EAR's META-INF

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.0">
    <deployment>
        <dependencies>
            <module name="deployment.my-jca.rar"/>
        </dependencies>
    </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

Question is, am I missing something?

I also tried to generate (using IronJacamar generator) a dummy RAR with no logic, exception remains the same, so I assume my original RAR is fine but I am missing a configuration detail.
