off course i read what i post , but BEFORE i post it (otherwise there isn't much point in fixing it, i don't have an edit option)... call me silly, but when one provides a user with a text field to input stuff, well i kinda expect it to stay there. didn't know i should re-check it. so to make things clear. because our ear operates in an isolated classpath on was 6.1, i would like it to be the same in jboss 4.2.3 so far no luck, everything following the instructions to make it j2ee complaint didn't work.
