[jboss-dev] Classloader changes from AS 4.2.2 to AS 4.2.3 affecting launch of Tool built Seam apps

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Hi,

I've been trying to get to the bottom of why Seam app's behaves 
differently dependent on which AS 4.x version they run on.

But after trying to ping Pete, who relayed to Ales, who relayed to Scott 
then i'm at a bit of a dead end (I assume Scott is too busy with AS 5.x )

Anyone got an idea why exploded deployment 
<https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4166> differs from a zipped 
deployment ?
Why does it matter which letters we use in the deployment, i.e. 
fseam.ear behaves different that seam.ear ?
Why does it work if all jars are in a /lib folder (JEE 5 style), but not 
when using Manifest.mf (J2EE 1.4 style) ?

Any input on how we can solve this would be great. See details (with 
example ear's, no need for installing tools to help)

Thanks!
