Also these components needs to be self-contained, ie all the dependent JAR files need to be packaged inside these components and cannot be placed in the Server's classpath . | This is fine. The classes from the RAR file will still be available to the WAR deployement without having to re-package them with the WAR. anonymous wrote : | Since the RAR and the WAR code uses the ConenctionFactory I need to place the Connector JAR file inside both the RAR and the WAR. | Since the classloaders for RAR and the WAR are different I get a ClassCastException when I lookup the ConnectionFactory in the Web Application. | The reason for the CCE is that you are including the classes in *both* deployments. Remove these classes from the WAR. See above. anonymous wrote : | For the connector and the web application to be run on the Weblogic App. Server I can keep the Connector JAR file (containing the ConnectionFactory implementation) in both the RAR file and the JAR file and also set the | <enable-global-access-to-classes>true</enable-global-access-to-classes> in weblogic-ra.xml. | Effectively, this is accomplished in JBoss without having to specify anything beyond the defaults.
