I have never tried to do this stuff with an exploded directly, but I don't see why that should make a difference. Those lines in jboss-app.xml are enabling scoped classloading, so you are ok there. So, I don't know what the problem is. (I know whats going wrong; I don't know the cause or how to fix it.) I suggest that tomorrow you grab a nightly build of the seampay example from CVS, which shows this stuff working (I just fixed a minor bug that was causing an error).
