Unfortunately, XMLBeans is used pretty extensively by the Geronimo
deployment system, so it's not just a matter of avoiding using the web
container's class loader. More particularly, if your plugin will
include a deployer component, you're working directly with the
Geronimo deployment system (though, not necessarily with any XMLBeans
objects generated by the Geronimo deployment system...).
It's possible that it will work if you add the XMLBeans packages to
the exclude from parent classloader list in the environment entry in
your module's plan, and then add your version as a dependency in the
environment. That is, "don't use the version from my parent class
loader, use mine instead". I haven't tried this with XMLBeans myself,
but it's the place I'd start.

Kanchana,
The problem is xml beans is a JAR used by Geronimo already (I think with
Web container). I wanted to use some other version of it rather than the
existing one in the Geronimo version with my custom GBean. There is no
such problem with Quartz. So the problem is lot easier with it.
Hope this will clarify my question bit more.
Thanks,
