I have worked quite a while using tomcat and developped spring and struts2 applications. Now I started to learn more about hibernate and changed to jboss as ver 7. I really thought I could just copy my old apps from tomcat webapps directory to jboss as standalone/deployments directory and everything would run fine. How could I be so optimistic!! :-)) I downloaded jboss-as-helloworld examples and they are running fine, so I think in principle everything is ok with my installation. It seems jboss cannot find the starting classes within the wars, but why and what can I do??? Take a look at my jboss log out, somewhere after deploying successfully my helloworld examples: 12:30:49,734 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.controller] (Controller Boot Thread) Deployed "jboss-as-helloworld-gwt.war" 12:30:49,735 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.controller] (Controller Boot Thread) Deployed "jboss-as-helloworld.war" 12:30:49,746 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-3) Starting deployment of "example3.war" 12:30:49,747 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-6) Starting deployment of "fuzei.war" 12:30:49,861 INFO  [org.jboss.as.jpa] (MSC service thread 1-7) added javax.persistence.api dependency to example3.war 12:30:49,868 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-8) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."example3.war".INSTALL: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."example3.war".INSTALL: Failed to process phase INSTALL of deployment "example3.war"     at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:121)     at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.startService(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1824)     at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1759)     at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) [:1.7.0]     at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) [:1.7.0]     at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) [:1.7.0] Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to load class de.akdabas.jli.j2ee.tags.IterationTag     at org.jboss.as.ee.component.deployers.EEClassConfigurationProcessor$1.compute(EEClassConfigurationProcessor.java:141)     at org.jboss.as.ee.component.deployers.EEClassConfigurationProcessor$1.compute(EEClassConfigurationProcessor.java:122)     at org.jboss.as.ee.component.LazyValue.get(LazyValue.java:40)     at org.jboss.as.ee.component.EEApplicationDescription.getClassConfiguration(EEApplicationDescription.java:183)     at org.jboss.as.ee.component.ComponentDescription.createConfiguration(ComponentDescription.java:153)     at org.jboss.as.ee.component.deployers.EEModuleConfigurationProcessor.deploy(EEModuleConfigurationProcessor.java:70)     at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:115)     ... 5 more Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: de.akdabas.jli.j2ee.tags.IterationTag from [Module "deployment.example3.war:main" from Service Module Loader]     at org.jboss.modules.ModuleClassLoader.findClass(ModuleClassLoader.java:191)     at org.jboss.modules.ConcurrentClassLoader.performLoadClassChecked(ConcurrentClassLoader.java:361)     at org.jboss.modules.ConcurrentClassLoader.performLoadClassChecked(ConcurrentClassLoader.java:333)     at org.jboss.modules.ConcurrentClassLoader.performLoadClass(ConcurrentClassLoader.java:310)     at org.jboss.modules.ConcurrentClassLoader.loadClass(ConcurrentClassLoader.java:103)     at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) [:1.7.0]     at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source) [:1.7.0]     at org.jboss.as.ee.component.deployers.EEClassConfigurationProcessor$1.compute(EEClassConfigurationProcessor.java:139)     ... 11 more wanna see the contents of my war??

I thought I was independant from the server, if I build a war file. Any ideas?? Little bit confused.
