Hello,

This may seem like a strange question but does classloading in JBoss have any thing to do with how a jar is built?

I ask this because I have an application (ear file) in $JBOSS_HOME/server/all/deploy that works well when it sees the jars it needs under $JBOSS_HOME/server/all/lib directory.

One of these jars is a 3rd party library (with bugs). So I got the source code for the library and compiled and built the jar file with *same* number and names of classes.

When I place this new jar file in all/lib in place of the old one, I get ClassNotFoundExceptions.

Can anyone explain why?

Regards,
Vijay Kandy
