I have tried to lick problem every which way from Sunday, but I keep running into the same classloader problems trying to find either classes or the Spring contexts. Riddle me this, Batman: What is the recommended route for deploying a single, self-contained EAR housing a shared DAO layer and one or more WARs? Just as a refernce, here is a link to my lastest attempt in a nice TARBALL: http://codechimp.net/files/HashGrabber.tar.gz. I have everything building with Maven 2, and it *should* build from scratch. Not much really. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4021470#... Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&a...
