Going by the exception stacktrace, its definitely an issue with the client classpath not having the jboss jar file(s). anonymous wrote : This raises two questions: (1) are the JBoss5 client jars available in any maven repository, and | Yes, they are. anonymous wrote : (2) given the indirect nature of jbossall-client.jar, will it even work with maven, or do I need to name all of the referenced jar files in my pom for this test? | I guess you will have to name all the relevant referenced jar files in the pom.
