Thanks alot guys ... duplicate jars was the answer to ALL my problems. I was porting a sample app that was working on tomcat so I suppose its my own fault. But my dependency injection problem was cleaned up (by removing the hibernate jar) as well. Thanks again. That was driving me CRAZZZZYYYY !!!! :-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4240097#...
