[jboss-user] [JCA/JBoss] - Re: Classloading and sharing classes between .ear and .rar

[rupertlssmith]

The good news is that I now have everything working. Thankyou Weston for your quick and helpfull replies.

To recap: I have the -ds.xml and RAR inside the EAR. I am using isolated class loaders. IT doesn't seem to matter whether or not i turn on call by value in the naming service and ear deployer configs. The all in one EAR approach should mean its all call-by-reference anyway. What seems to be making or breaking it is the RAR reference in the -ds.xml:

I am using:

<rar-name>index-ra-test-0.1.ear#index-ra-0.1.rar</rar-name>

and it is working with that.

Using:

<rar-name>index-ra-0.1.rar</rar-name>

it will silently fail without binding the service to its JNDI name. I'm a little surprised by that, i thought the -ds.xml deployer would fail if it can't find the  connection factory interface. Perahps all the ear# syntax is doing is prompting it to use the right clasloader? I've no idea.

Any enlightenment on how to get the RAR working as a seperate modular deployment would still be appreciated and of general interest I think. For example, suppose I had  EARs needing isolated loaders but want to share a single resource adapter between them?
