hi there,

i am integrating hibernate with jboss. i deployed hibernate as a service and then my ejbs can jndi look up hibernate session and every thing works. my ears depend on the hibernate sar and i can hot redeploy them at will. (of course if sar is redeployed, ears have to be redeployed.)

then i wrote an interceptor for my SLSB so that i can automatically bind a hibernate session to the thread local of my SLSB. i can then easily access the session anywhere in my SLSB and don't need to worry about getting, flushing or closing the session in the finally block (all done by the interceptor).

my interceptor needs access to the hibernate session classe. currently it's obtained from the hibernate sar. however if i hot redeploy my sar and ears, since the interceptor is not (and cannot be?) hot redeloyed, the redeployed ejb will get a run time exception when it's accessing a hibernate session:

java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraints violated when linking net/sf/hibernate/Session class

what is the best approach to this kind of deployment issue? is there a work around? i really want to be able to hot redeploy the hibernate service. is there any way the interceptor can be hot redeployed too?

thanks in advance.
