Thanks for the response Dain. Please see the additional details I included in my response to David. I think you may be right that the GBean deployer service is using the wrong classloader. Please let me know if the additional details my other response help narrow things down further.

I think there is a code problem here. The geronimo-gbean-deployer should not need to see TranQL or the transaction manager. It should only need to see the classes required to process the xml and create the GBeanData objects. I think there are few possible problems here:

1) The geronimo-gbean-deployer is seeing too many classes - For example, if the geronimo-gbean-deployer is seeing the TranQL classes, it must also be able to see all of the dependencies of TranQL which is my you need to add JTA. I think is where you currently are and suggest you back out adding the extra dependencies to the geronimo- gbean-deployer plan.

2) The GBean deployer service is using the wrong class loader to try to load the gbean service class (the class of the declared gbean service in the xml file). This should be fairly easy to check by droping a break point in the deployer and inspecting the class loader it is using.

3) The class you are loading could have unnecessary coupling which requires to many classes to be visible to the target class loader.

Here's an update on where I'm at with this and to see if anybody has any other ideas (thanks for the help I've already received from David Jencks and Matt).

The classloader problem appears to be coming from the jetty deployment of daytrader during the configs build. By trial and error I discovered that this appears to have nothing to do with OpenEJB or OpenEJB-deployer as we once thought but rather jetty- deployer.

Here's a graph of the jetty-deployer parent dependencies (I followed Matt's lead on creating text diagrams :-) ).

geronimo-gbean-deployer             j2ee-server
         A                              A
         |           parent             |
         |------------------------------|
         |
j2ee-deployer             jetty
     A                      A
     |      parent          |
     |----------------------|
     |
jetty-deployer

Debug messages seem to indicate that the classloader in question is the geroniom-gbean-deployer class loader and I have had some marginal success (ie. changing the problem) by including dependencies in this config. However, I can't quite make sense of it.

geronimo-gbean-deployer never had a dependency to rmi-naming to begin with. On the other hand, both the jetty config and the j2ee- server config do have a dependency to rmi-naming. So I would have thought that adding the tranql dependency here would improve things. But it had no effect at all. However, it changes the problem if I add the tranql dependency to geronimo-gbean-deployer. I then get this error:

26979 [main] ERROR org.apache.geronimo.deployment.Deployer - Deployment failed due to
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/transaction/TransactionManager

With Matt's help I found this class in the jta spec and added a dependency for that as well to geronimo-gbean-deployer which then resulted in this error:

14371 [main] ERROR org.apache.geronimo.deployment.Deployer - Deployment failed due to java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraints violated when linking javax/transaction/UserTransaction class

I'm not even sure exactly what a LinkageError is .... but I wonder if I'm just chasing my tail anyway. Having the dependency on tranql et. al. in geroniom-gbean-deployer might not be any better than having it in rmi-naming (still seems misplaced).

Any hints/suggestions are welcome.

BTW, out of about 22 questionable jars included in the minimal tomcat assembly I was able to remove 19 of them with the minimal assembly still functioning. Of course, I can only make these changes for that assembly if I can get around these side-effect problems in other configurations and assemblies.

I'm looking to eliminate some of the unnecessary dependencies defined in our modules and configurations so that we can build smaller assemblies. While investigating what would be necessary to remove the tranql jar from the minimal assembly I removed a dependency to tranql in the rmi-naming configuration. I expected some problems, but the result I received is a bit strange. I get the NoClassDefFoundError listed below when deploying (as part of the build) the configuration for Daytrader. Is this expected based upon removing the tranql dependency from rmi-naming or is there something strange going on with the classloaders?
