To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/545322#545322 -------------------------------------------------------------- Worked it out, might possibly help some other folk down the line. The %JBOSS_HOME%/server/default/deployers/ear-deployer-jboss-beans.xml file has the scope for the EAR set to isolated, this prevented the outside WAR from reaching the EAR/lib.    <bean name="EARClassLoaderDeployer">       <!-- A flag indicating if ear deployments should have their own scoped          class loader to isolate their classes from other deployments.       -->            <property name="isolated">false</property>    </bean> Depending on the development or production environment the WAR is outside or inside the EAR, so I didn't want to just move it to the server/default/lib.
