  | A bit of debugging shows that the real issue appears to be the way BaseClassLoaderDomain.getResources is implemented:
  | 
  |   void getResources(BaseClassLoader classLoader, String name, Set urls, boolean allExports) throws IOException
  | {
  | 1) beforeGetResources()
  | 2) GetResourcesFromTheClassloader()
  | 3) GetResourcesFromTheParentClassloader()
  | }
  | 
  | 
  | This method behaves unlike the getResource() method which returns immidiately after finding the resource from the first classloader which has access to the resource. The getResources() on the other hand pulls out the resource URLs from *all* the classloaders in the hierarchy and their exports.
  | 
  | So in this scenario when the admin-console is being processed and a request for META-INF/components.xml is made from within this app's classloader:
  | 
  | 1) Finds the META-INF/components.xml within the jar(s) of this admin-console.war
  | 2) Goes to the parent of this admin-console.war classloader which exposes META-INF/components.xml available in the non-scoped/non-isolated Seam EAR.
  | 3) Effectively, this returns a list of URLs from different (unrelated) applications and messes up the admin console
  | 
  | 
  | From my understanding of the semantics of Classloader.getResources(String name) and the javadoc, i think the BaseClassLoaderDomain.getResources(BaseClassLoader cl, String name, Seturls, boolean allExp) is probably incorrect.
  | 
  | As an workaround, i think we should probably set the EAR deployments to be isolated by default. That way we won't have a broken admin-console when some other user application with Seam does not isolate their app.
  | 
  | P.S: There's one more issue i see with the handling of jboss-classloading.xml/jboss-web.xml classloading scoping for war deployments. But i will create a separate thread for that.
