[jbossws-users] [JBossWS] - Runtime classloader cannot be null

I have a JAX-WS 2.0 RI based project deployed on JBoss 4.0.4.GA that I am upgrading to JBoss 4.2.1.GA with JBossWS 2.0.1.GA. Deployment of the .war fails with the following stacktrace: | 2007-10-17 09:31:32,361 ERROR [org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer] (main:) Could not start deployment:

successful. I'm not entirely sure why I have a habit of declaring loader-repository for all my deployments, it definitely began with my quest for isolated-classloaders, but is probably superfluous now that I have isolated classloaders properly configured in conf/jboss-service.xml, deploy/ear-deployer.xml, and deploy/jboss-web.deployer/META-INF/jboss-service.xml server configuration files.
