Ok, your problem looks to be that your domain doesn't have any classloaders: | No classloaders in this domain (the null) | | 2007-10-12 11:33:46,015 TRACE [org.jboss.classloader.spi.base.BaseClassLoaderDomain] ClassLoaderDoma | in@11b3435{aop.loading:loader=scopedextender1} trying to get resource org/jboss/test/aop/scopedexten | der/blah.txt from all exports null | | So load from parent | | 2007-10-12 11:34:10,906 TRACE [org.jboss.classloader.spi.ClassLoaderDomain] ClassLoaderDomain@11b343 | 5{aop.loading:loader=scopedextender1} org/jboss/test/aop/scopedextender/blah.txt matches parent afte | rFilter=<EVERYTHING> | | The parent has a classloader. | | 2007-10-12 11:34:10,921 TRACE [org.jboss.classloader.spi.base.BaseClassLoaderDomain] ClassLoaderDoma | in@1f21056{<DEFAULT>} trying to get resource org/jboss/test/aop/scopedextender/blah.txt from all exports [VFSClassLoader | Policy@c1a0a6] | So the question is why is there no classloader policies in aop.loading:loader=scopedextender1 You'll need to look at the deployment trace logging to see whether (and when) the classloader gets added to the domain or whether it is getting added to the wrong domain.
