I see.

I guess you could somehow super hack it with your approach -- changing the TCCL,
but that's not the way it should be done. ;-)

Why it doesn't work in JBossAS by default is b/c each .war is placed into its own domain, which then gets child-first lookup notion.
So, all you need to do in order to make this work is for all web apps that you want them to share resources to be in the same domain.
Which is why your jar move makes this work -- the common resources can be fund in common default domain.

Well, I'm sharing an office with Marko (JBoss Portal core dev), so why don't the three of you decide what exactly you need to achieve,
and I'll make sure Marko makes that a reality with MC's CL, instead of us two playing forums ping-pong.
