I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of what the issue might be with an issue I am having with getting my application to deploy in JBoss 5.0.0 RC2. The application deploys fine on 4.2.3 but when I move it over to try to get it to work on 5 I get issues. I know everything we rewritten in 5, so there are probably things I need to change with my code, the problem is the error message I am getting is not very helpful.

The output from the deployment is as follows:

All it is telling me is I am getting a class cast exception when it tries to deploy the war that is in my ear because of the error creating managed object.

Anyone have any idea where to look for possible issues. I already resolved a similar issue by changing the Spring configurations to use the XSD definitions instead of DTD.

If there is any more information I can provide that would help please let me know.
