WebApps ignore java2ClassLoadingCompliance in jboss-web.xml ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-3047 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3047 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Web (Tomcat) service, ClassLoading Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.3 SP1 Environment: SuSE Linux 9.1, Sun JDK 1.4.2_11 Reporter: Kevin Yeung Assigned To: Scott M Stark Fix For: JBossAS-5.0.0.Beta3, JBossAS-4.2.0.GA I deploy the same jar file (kevin.jar) in a war and its containing ear. In the war, I have a test JSP that loads a class from kevin.jar and displays its class loader. The class is loaded using the war class loader. So, I added the following to jboss-web.xml under the war's WEB-INF <class-loading java2ClassLoadingCompliance='true'> Didn't work. So I added this: <class-loading java2ClassLoadingCompliance='true'> <loader-repository> dot.com:loader=unique-archive-name <loader-repository-config> java2ParentDelegaton=true </loader-repository-config> </loader-repository> </class-loading> Didn't work either. Class continues to be loaded from war's class loader. Deleted JAR from WEB-INF/lib and class is now loaded from ear.
