The classloader should be there, since we only remove it from BMD once it's uninstalled: - http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/jboss-deployers/trunk/dep... In deployment phase it's removed here: - http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/jboss-deployers/trunk/dep... I'm not saying its impossible, but I doubt it's us. ;-) Since this would already pop-up, like you said, some stop/destroy method needs to do something. Perhaps you don't have your dependencies right, and something snatches cl from the bean, w/o properly unwinding/uninstalling it?
