             Summary: java.lang.IllegalAccessError when invoking protected method from another class in the same package path but different jar.
                 Key: AS7-3305
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3305
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Class Loading
    Affects Versions: 7.1.0.CR1b
         Environment: Windows 7 64 bit, Sun JDK 1.6.0_30 32bit

            Assignee: David Lloyd


tried to access method com.tis.utilities.AbstractJavaBeanSelectionPagination.selectObject(IZ)V from class com.tis.utilities.GenericPaginationBean

  I have an EJB jar which uses a MANIFEST.MF CLASS-PATH: entry to include a jar with some utility code.  The two jars are packaged in the same ear file.  Compiles and deploys fine.  For some reason the EJB jar's classes can not invoke protected methods in classes that are in the same package path but in different jars.  Invocation of public methods works fine.  By the Java spec protected methods should be friends and thus accessible from other classes in the same package path.
