To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/594878#594878 -------------------------------------------------------------- I'm having a serious problem putting a project to work. It really is hold back my advance in the project, and I'm getting very frustrated with this. Maybe someone can help me here ... I hope so. I have the following structure: project.ear +- load-api.jar +- webapp.war    +- WEB-INF       +- classes                +- config.properties +- myejb.jar Components: load-api.jar - jar package that loads stuff, including "config.properties" from classpath. Uses something like: OneClass.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream( "config.properties" ); webapp.war - simple war module, the only one that depends on "load-api.jar" Executes a servlet context listener on startup, that will load "config.properties" through "load-api.jar". myejb.jar - simple EJB3 project, that has a simple EJB component that does nothing at this time. Now I need to use from within the EJB project a class that is defined on "load-api.jar". What I did was just to add a dependency to "load-api.jar", and nothing more (manifest.mf gets updated with jar info). Before I even add a line of code, my project stops working. What happens: the listener executed from within "webapp.war" fails to find the "config.properties" resource. The "config.properties" resource is still defined inside the "WEB-INF->classes" folder of the "webapp.war", like before. But seems that the classloader fails to find it, as if it searches for it inside the EJB ... I believe this should be normal ... but why is it? Can I change this behaviour? Is it a manifest.mf classpath problem? This seems to be a matter of classloading-hell, as I've heard of it. The solution is to pull everything to the EJB? And if it is, will it work the same way in other application server JavaEE compliant?
