I'm trying to deploy an MBean using an XML descriptor. The classes for the MBean are located in my WAR file. For example classes would exist here:

deploy/webapplication.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/example/mbeans/TestMBean.class
deploy/webapplication.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/example/mbeans/Test.class

I put the descriptor for this inside the user-service.xml in the deploy directory. Like this:
Code:








When jboss attempts to deploy the user-service.xml it can't find a classloader for the classes:

09:56:21,583 ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not create deployment: file:/C:/jboss-4.0.3SP1/server/default/deploy/user-service.xml
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: No ClassLoaders found for: mil.navy.fnmoc.pel.services.mbeans.CacheMonitor; - nested throwable: (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: No ClassLoaders found for: mil.navy.fnmoc.pel.services.mbeans.CacheMonitor)

How can I load these classes from outside the war file?

IS the load repositry tag the answer? The way I understand it the loader repository tag will limit the scope of my classes inside the war file. It seems to me that this is already the case. Am I trying to use this incorrectly?

thanks for the help,
Tim
