I think I've already talked about it in the past.  If you want to extend 
JBoss at all (i.e. a security plugin) you have to hack the modules/ 
directory so that classes are visible.  Since you've pretty much 
isolated applications from app-server classloaders, I'll put $100 down 
that this issue exists for other extension points as well.
