CNFE Exceptions due to the wrong classloader being used ------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-8126 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8126 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: EJB2 Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.1.0.GA Reporter: Stelios Koussouris Assignee: Alexey Loubyansky The unified classloader is used loading an interface from another jar archive in the /deploy when that interface is called from within a scoped EAR rather than the interface included in the EAR itself.
