Thanks for the reply Grigoras.
The MANIFEST.xml vs MANIFEST.MF was just a typo in the email. I've solved my problem now. I read a couple of articles on class loading. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/07/25/ejb.html My problem was not a class loading issue. For some reason when I try to sort my list I get a NoClassDefFoundError thrown. The class it's looking for is the StoreController. I've just left out the sorting code for the moment. The self contained example works, just not when I try to merge the example into my project. Oh well. I'll have another look at it later in the project.

Set <attribute name="UseJBossWebLoader">false</attribute> in deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml For me was better to use this and put myfaces libs in war. What is MANIFEST.xml ? Maybe MANIFEST.MF ? Cristi
