Solved the problem about not finding the ManagedConnectionFactory class when the ds.xml file is deployed outside the ear.
I hadn't set the class loading configuration properly. The settings I had in jboss-app.xml file inside the ear were hiding this class from being found when the ds file was deployed. thanks very much to everyone and sorry for any inconvenience cause :-$ View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3912315#3912315 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3912315 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
