I get this error:
11:27:58,131 ERROR [[/test]](main) Servlet /test threw load() exception
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Class [org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.SimplePropertyNamespaceHandler] does not implement the NamespaceHandler interface
Looks like its still picking up classes from the spring v2 jar in the server lib directory. It seems that altering the classloading policy with the jboss-classloading.xml file works for the .sar but not the .war. Could someone advise me where I'm going wrong?
First, for .war/web you actually don't need to specify parent-first=false, since this is deafult .war/web spec behavior.
For the actual problem, I'll think about it over the weekend and get back to you -- cannot see it on the spot on Friday afternoon. :-)
