I'm using JBoss AS7.  I get a ClassNotFoundException when attempting to deploy my app - looks like it's not finding JMSException

 JMSException.class is not in /jboss home/modules/javax/jms .  I have this class in a jar file - javaee-api-6.0.jar .   I copied this jar file to /my app/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib , but I'm still receiving this ClassNotFoundException.

I need help debugging.  One thing I tried - I thought maybe the /jboss home/modules/javax module JBoss was loading was conflicting with my javaee-api-6.0.jar file - so I tried to exclude it with a src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml file

    <jboss-deployment-structure>

      <deployment>

        <exclusions>

            <module name="javax.jms" />

        </exclusions>

      </deployment>

    </jboss-deployment-structure>

but I still get the same NoClassDefFoundError.  Any advice on how to fix?
