Greetings all,
I've searched the archives and found several posts that touch around my problem, but no real answers.
I'm trying to deploy a single EAR. Inside the EAR is a WAR with some servlets and a JAR filled with EJBs and helper classes.
The WAR has several servlets inside, one WEB-INF/web.xml descriptor, and no other accessory code in WEB-INF/classes.
The JAR has several beans and several additional helper/"library" classes.
My assumption was that at some level a classloader would load my JAR (EJBs) first and then delegate a child classloader to load my WAR. In that way, I could expect my servlets in the WAR to be able to see library code in the JAR via the parent classloader. (Furthermore, I wish to reference additional library JARs via the EJB-JAR's manifest classpath, but I'm not even there yet.)
Is there something else I should be doing here? There was once a document describing the new classloader hierarchy for Jboss 3, but it seems to have disappeared.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Ben
