The AS clustering code shields Infinispan from direct interaction with application objects by storing sessions as MarshalledValues which are eagerly marshalled into byte[] and lazily unmarshalled using an application-specific MarshallingConfiguration.

Paul, that explains how you can deserialize the *contents of the cache*.

My question is different: I'm talking about how, the web app, can see *Infinispan classes*.

In Scott's issue, the web app uses Hibernate but during unmarshalling but it cannot locate Infinispan classes:

07:27:32,225 SEVERE [org.jgroups.blocks.RequestCorrelator] (OOB-20,null) failed unmarshalling buffer into return value: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.infinispan.CacheException from [Module "deployment.stateful.war:main" from Service Module Loader]

I'm trying to understand how come it works for session repl, but it doesn't for 2LC. It seems to me that you should be having the same problem if you cannot plug Infinispan with the ModuleClassResolver.

Let's talk on IRC...
