java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) We ahave an EAR that contains a WAR and a EJB JAR. The WAR is skinny an contains no jar files. All the jar files are included in the lib directory at the root of the EAR file. In the lib directory is the spring.jar whihc is of version 2.5.6. I have attempted turning on class loader isolation via the ear-deployer-jboss-beans.xml file and via the jboss-app.xml file which would then be included in the META-INF folder of the EAR. Both of these approaches did not work. I also tried including the spring.jar in the server/default/lib directory and that did no work either. What is the resolution to this issue??? Any help would be much appreciated! Regards, Kyle S.
