War depending on War -classpath issues

Hi,

I have a ear where in war A depends on war B for few classes.....and i use Eclipse ide for setting up the ear..
when i deploy it ..the war B loads properly but ,,War A gives error,,and the exception is classnot found...its not able to find the classes referenced from war b.

Any idea to resolve this..

Regards

Dear Kumar,

WAR files must be self contained and cannot depend on each other. So your design is flawed. Just because it works in Eclipse does not make it up to spec. Change the structure of your code to put the common classes in a JAR in WEB-INF/lib for each WAR.

But it runs in Websphere app server 6.1. what i want to know is how to make it ...run on jboss 4.2.x

In that case WebSphere is not adhering to the JEE spec. So your design was flawed and WebSphere failed to point that out to you.

Put the shared classes in a JAR in WEB-INF/lib in each WAR. File a bug report for WebSphere.
