Well, maybe the classes that are present there are used before (are loaded earlier, not by the scoped application), and so end up in the not-scope class loader repository. See: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossClassLoadingUseCases, use case 3 and 4. But if there are classes shared among several apps, and each is scoped, then the classes never get loaded to the shared loader repository. -- Adam View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4118678#...
