[jboss-user] [Tomcat, HTTPD, Servlets & JSP] - deploying shared jars in jboss5

I originally posted this on the jboss5 forum at http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=138718 They recommended that I post it here. So here is a recap of my problem anonymous wrote : | Here is how I have my project setup. | These are all maven 2 projects so dependency management is done automatically. | | I have a few projects that get compiled into jars which contains common functions. | e.g. common.jar (Utility methods) | | I have a web app which depends on common, spring and a few other libs. | | My .m2/settings.xml file has a jboss.home variable defined. | | my webapp's pom file is set to create a lean war basically I don't want to include any of the dependent libs into the web-inf/lib folder. | When I run mvn package on the webapp it copies all the dependencies | into the JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/common-libs folder. | | This setup works fine in 4.2.2. | After getting 5.0 CR1, I changed the jboss.home variable in my settings.xml and jusr reran the maven scripts. | | I start up jboss and I get these errrors. | | | | 4:43:30,927 INFO [TomcatDeployment] deploy, ctxPath=/semwebapp, vfsUrl=semwebapp.war | | 4:43:30,960 WARN [TomcatInjectionContainer] could not find servlet class | | org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet | | in classpath when processing annotations. | | 4:43:30,977 WARN [TomcatInjectionContainer] could not find servlet class | | org.directwebremoting.servlet.DwrServlet | | in classpath when processing annotations. | | 4:43:31,034 WARN [TomcatInjectionContainer] could not find servlet class | | org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet | | in classpath when processing annotations. | | 4:43:31,050 WARN [TomcatInjectionContainer] could not find servlet class | | org.directwebremoting.servlet.DwrServlet | | in classpath when processing annotations. | | 4:43:31,086 INFO [[/semwebapp]] Marking servlet springDispatcher as unavailable | | 4:43:31,093 ERROR [[/semwebapp]] Servlet /semwebapp threw load() exception | | ava.lang.ClassNotFoundException: | | org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet | | | | at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200) | | at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) | | at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188) | | at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306) | | at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251) | | at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.TomcatInjectionContainer.newInstance(TomcatInjectionContainer | | .java:162) | | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.loadServlet(StandardWrapper.java:1006) | | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.load(StandardWrapper.java:950) | | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.loadOnStartup(StandardContext.java:4074) | | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4384) | | at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.TomcatDeployment.performDeployInternal(TomcatDeploy | | ment.java:346) | | at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.TomcatDeployment.performDeploy(TomcatDeployment.jav | | a:139) | | at org.jboss.web.deployers.AbstractWarDeployment.start(AbstractWarDeployment.java:431) | | | | | I would appreciate it if somebody could help me with this. The recommendation is to put the jars into the JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib folder. I specifically didn't do this cos I wanted the libraries used my application to stay separated from the libraries that come standard with jboss.
