Having similar problem,
Running JBoss with tomcat-embedded (Tomcat 3.2Beta/JBoss from yesterday's
build).
I'm getting a ClassNotFoundException while using J2eeDeployer and the
EmbeddedTomcatService.
In my case the classloader can't find the Home interface at deployment time.
The Home interface it's located on both the ejb-jar and the war file. I'm
not using 3rd party libs, I've also checked the ejb-jar.xml for
misspellings.
Now, my problem is that I need the Home interface in both the client (war)
and server (ejb-jar). Adding the Home into the JBoss classpath at startup
seems to defeat the goal of "hot deploying" applications.
My app also used to work when Tomcat was not embedded.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Miguel

Subject: Re: [jBoss-User] Cautionary Tale
It really depends on how the classes are related. In my case I had
classes in my ejb-jar that were subclasses of third party classes in my
webapp. The WebApp classloader knows about classes loaded by the ejb
classloader but not the other way around. So when my jsps tried to the
load the subclasses it picked up the ones loaded by the ejb classloader
who in turn couldn't find the parent classes because they were specified
to the webapp classloader. Confusing huh.
I would advise you take a go look at the classes you have and how they
relate. Then figure what needs to go into the ejb-jar and what needs to
go into the webapp jar. In my case it was inheritance of third party
classes that bit me.
