JBoss - Multiple Ear Files - Deployment & Configuration

[Chris Broussard]

hello all,
I need some assistance. i'm desperately trying to figure out how to get this to work.
for explaination purposes let say i have an application. i have two clients that are wanting to use it. however they need different configuration files and deployment descriptors. i want to run them from the same jboss instance. i'm getting class cast exceptions, and i understand it's a classloading problem.
can somebody give me a list of steps that will get this working. i basically want to have "mirror" ear files with the only differences is the configuration files inside the appropriate jar/war/ear files.
i have tried a couple of different things. right now i have unique jboss.xml & ejb-jar.xml files for the jndi lookups and so they are deploying okay now. but when i try to get the remote reference that's when i'm getting the classcastexception. i have the jboss-app.xml, it is at the same level of the application.xml file. but it doesn't seem to be working.
one ear file has
<jboss-app>
<loader-repository>scbg_app:loader=scbg_test.ear</loader-repository>
</jboss-app>
the other ear file has
<jboss-app>
<loader-repository>scbg_app2:loader=scbg_test2.ear</loader-repository>
</jboss-app>

jboss version - jboss-3.2.1_tomcat-4.1.24
jdk - 1.4.2
can somebody please help.
