Hi,
Geronimo 3.0-beta1 fails to deploy my war due to classloading problems.
Note that this war was successfully deployed on Geronimo 2.2.1 with
tomcat 6 and also on a plain tomcat 7.
My war has a web.xml with 2.3 servlet doctype and it ships some jar
libraries under WEB-INF/lib/ - most importantly, a copy of log4j.jar.
The war has a geronimo-web.xml with just an empty sys:environment
element in it.
When I try to deploy on Geronimo 3.0-beta1, I get this stacktrace:
2012-03-22 12:08:36,754 ERROR [[/myapp]] Servlet /myapp threw load()

Interestingly, if I remove the log4j jar, the stacktrace above is
avoided, but the same issue hits in an actual servlet initialization. It
has a slightly different error message:
2012-03-22 13:53:31,565 ERROR [DeploymentPortlet] The application was
not deployed.
Could not fully load class: com.myapp.MyFilter
due to:org/apache/log4j/Appender
in classLoader:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not fully load class:
com.myapp.MyFilter
due to:org/apache/log4j/Appender
in classLoader:
I also tried adding
<sys:import-package>!org.apache.log4j.*</sys:import-package>
in geronimo-web.xml (while having the log4j jar in place in the war),
but this didn't help as ClassNotFoundException repeated.
Any suggestions how to resolve this?
Cheers,
Juho Autio
