Re: [hibernate-dev] classloading issue when trying to add envers to as7

As a follow-up, I tried adding Envers to a web application deployed on AS7 today, using Hibernate provided with the AS. I got some class loading problems though with dom4j. See the forum discussion: http://community.jboss.org/message/618823#618823 I also tried creating a separate Envers module which would depend on org.hibernate, but the Hibernate doesn't seem to see the Envers Integrator. Strong Liu: isn't it something you've prepared a patch for? I don't think it was included?

There is an option to do that, if so desired (via the export="true").

Say a user creates his own Integrator and puts it as part of the application classes - will Hibernate see it on startup? The same applies to Envers - Hibernate should see the integrator if the module is enabled. > > -- > Adam Warski > > http://twitter.com/#!/adamwarski > http://www.warski.org > http://www.softwaremill.eu > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > hibernate-dev mailing list > hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
