Ramesh Pitani commented on JBAS-5900:
-------------------------------------

we can resolved this problem by adding jboss-structure.xml with following content in SAR file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<structure>
    <context>
        <path name=""/>
        <metaDataPath>
            <path name="META-INF"/>
        </metaDataPath>        
        <classpath>
            <path name=""/>
            <path name="" suffixes=".jar" />
            <path name="lib" suffixes=".jar" />
        </classpath>
    </context>
</structure>

> In JBoss AS 5, any jars placed in the lib directory of a sar are not loaded and results in a class not found exception. The classes are loaded if the jar is placed in the root directory of the sar.
> On previous versions of JBoss AS, the classes would be loaded from either location. This prevents sars that would have worked on JBoss AS 4 to fail on JBoss AS 5.
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1) take zip attached to this report.
> 2) deploy test-in-lib.sar to JBoss AS 5. The sar will not deploy and will fail with a classNotFoundException
> 3) deploy test-in-lib.sar to JBoss AS 4, the sar will deploy without issue.
> test-in-root.sar will work on both versions of JBoss. The only difference between these sars is the location of the jar.
