I'm not sure if the problem I am experiencing relates to Tomcat or JBoss, but I am inclined to believe it is a Tomcat issue. I thought I'd post it here just in case. When I use hot-deploy with an EAR, sometimes JBoss will give me NoSuchObjectException exceptions. This happens even if I restart the server. I have to manually remove the files in the Tomcat work directory (with rm -fr jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2/work/logs/{context_path}). Then JBoss will work properly. Here is a sample stack trace:
