Since the forums have been down I've made some progress on this. The classloading issue that I reported previously was a configuration error on my part. I had created jboss-structure.xml files for our services. <structure> | <context> | <path name=""/> | <metaDataPath> | <path name="META-INF"/> | </metaDataPath> | <classpath> | <path name=""/> | </classpath> | </context> | </structure> I was assuming that this would include all files in the root of the the deployment archive but it seems that I need to specify that jars are to be included. Adding <path name="" suffixes=".jar"/> to the classpath worked. The complete jboss-structure.xml now looks like this: <structure> | <context> | <path name=""/> | <metaDataPath> | <path name="META-INF"/> | </metaDataPath> | <classpath> | <path name=""/> | <path name="" suffixes=".jar"/> | </classpath> | </context> | </structure> View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4226404#...
