ClassNotFoundException while processing JNDI resource refs preventing deployment of war in ear ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-6403 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6403 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Web (Tomcat) service Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.0.0.GA Environment: n/a, but if you are curious: jdk 1.6.0_10 Linux (Fedora 9) Reporter: cbrettin Assignee: Remy Maucherat Deployment of applications containing war that has resource references (of types defined inside war) fails due to ClassNotFoundException: This looks exactly like EJBTHREE-1671(ResourceHandler) but affecting WebResourceHandler - it fails to use the Container class loader. The same one line change (pass container loader to Class.forName) seems to fix the issue.
