ohh - yeah that one - I banged my head against the wall with that one. Check that you not only you have the web-module class loader as "application first" but also the base EAR. This is the "Class loader and change detection" link (I think that is it - it is similar at least) on the main page for the application. Now check that the radio button is set to "Application first" or it might say "parent last" - the docs have the exact string. Double check that it is set after applying it because a fancy admin console is great but only if it works. If it not taking your change then follow the instructions in the seam docs for that. Also sometimes you need to restart the server for these things. Let us know how that goes. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4127016#...
