System Classloader

Why exactly do you need that jms.jar in .war?

Self first is per the spec for web/.war deployments.

Add jboss-classloading.xml with parent-first=true attribute.

If you want that the rest of classes (non jms.jar) are still looked parent-first=false, you need a bit more work.
The new jboss-classloading-domain.xml in AS6 helps here, but unfortunately it has a few bugs, which are already fixed,
and as such will be part of next AS6.1 release.
