Hi, I have 3 ears that define modules A, B, C. These modules are dependent in the sense that for example, module B is using interfaces from module A to get compiled (and even deployed without having A being deployed). I would like to deploy/redeploy these modules at any time. So, to achieve my goal, I separated interfaces from bean in each module and put the interfaces to solve the dependency issues.
So schematically, the 3 ears looks like: A : A.jar // only beans lib/A-client.jar // only interfaces from A META-INF - application.xml // defines lib/A-client.jar as java module // defines A.jar as ejb module in A.jar, the ejb-jar.xml file contains the tag <ejb-client-jar>lib/A-client.jar</ejb-client-jar> and the Class-Path from its MANIFEST.MF contains lib/A-client.jar B: //depends on A and C B.jar // an ejb module lib/A-client.jar // only interfaces from A lib/another-jar.jar // containing no beans lib/C-client.jar // only interfaces from C META-INF - application.xml In B.jar, the ejb-jar.xml file contains tags <ejb-client-jar> that list all the jar from the lib dir, and the Class-Path from its MANIFEST.MF contains these libs. C : // depends on A C.jar // only beans lib/C-client.jar // only interfaces from C lib/another-jar.jar // same that the one from B lib/A-client.jar // only interfaces from A META-INF - application.xml In C.jar, the deployment descriptor contains tags <ejb-client-jar> that list all the jars from the lib dir and the Class-Path entry from its MANIFEST.MF also contains these libs. All modules deploy correctly and the application runs correctly until I redeploy the modules... Once they are redeployed I got an IllegalAccessError on some beans (in fact it seems that each inner class are hitten by this error, I don't know for sure that there is a relation). After having a look at the documentation, it seems that the error occurs because the same classe is loaded in different class loaders. I saw that to be able to use the same classe in different ear, we have to define tag <loader-repository> in the jboss-app.xml (near the application.xml). That what I did for each module: adding | <loader-repository> | kiala:core=LoaderRepository | <loader-repository-config> | java2ParentDelegation=false | </loader-repository-config> | </loader-repository> | The application deploys very well, but I got a ClassCastException at runtime... Any help would be welcome.
