[jboss-user] [JBoss Web Services] - HandlerChain Annotation leading to ClassNotFoundException

thofer [https://community.jboss.org/people/thofer] created the discussion "HandlerChain Annotation leading to ClassNotFoundException" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/728232#728232 -------------------------------------------------------------- Before digging deeper, or throwing this approach to the trashcan, I'm asking you for some advice. I'm deploying an EAR with a WAR and some JARs. EAR - WAR | - classes | - lib | - configfiles ... - JARs In the classes of the WAR is an JAX-WS annotated EJB (Stateless). The @HandlerChain annotation gets resolved but the class mentioned in the handler-chain.xml couldn't be loaded ...? No matter if I put the jar into WAR/lib, or extract the contents and put it into WAR/classes. I tried the JBoss lib folder too. The only thing I get is {code} org.jboss.deployers.spi.DeploymentException: Error during deploy: vfs:///opt/..../jboss-6.0.0.Final/server/default/deploy/picketlink/SwgCoreEar-1.0.ear/SwgPdp-1.0.war/

Environment: OpenJDK 6, JBoss 6 Final Before adding that HandlerChain config file thing everything worked fine ... I guess that something goes wrong with the BaseClassLoader.
