In general you cannot put a jar in an ear and get those classes loaded. The application.xml file is responsible for dictating what gets loaded. If you add a <java> element to application.xml for that jar file it might work but that really should be used for proper applications versus libraries. Putting the jar in deploy is not reliable because you have a chicken-egg problem. Putting it in your [jboss]/server/[config]/lib directory will definitely work as will the base lib directory. If that fails check your [jboss]/server/[config]/tmp directory because it is probably still sitting there. I could swear that if you move from deploy to lib it does not always undeploy but then that's not something you will do very often. That will definitely work but a SAR might be more appropriate than ...[config]/lib.
