Hi Alexander,

Your 'my-ibatis-lib.jar' solution is not exactly what I meant with 'shared library'.
In WebSphere, a shared library resides outside your application.

It seems that JBoss doesn't support shared libraries. You can read more about this on:
http://www.jroller.com/page/srinivas?entry=websphere_shared_library_why_tomcat
In the comments on that page, some workaround is described that forces jars to be put into the classpath.

Good luck,
Hans.

Hi Hans,

I did this:

my.ear:
my.jar
lib/my-ibatis-lib.jar
lib/ibatis-common-2.jar
lib/ibatis-sqlmap-2.jar
lib/ibatis-dao-2.jar

my.jar/MANIFEST.MF
Class-Path: lib/my-ibatis-lib.jar lib/ibatis-common-2.jar etc.

my-ibatis-lib.jar
blah/blah/blah/sqlMapConfig.xml

>From within EJB3 my.jar, I'm doing getResourceAsReader("blah/blah/blah/sqlMapConfig.xml") and I still get IOException, it can't find it. OMG...I'm gong to pull out all of my hair and I'm already bald!. If iBatis is added to the system classloader due to the MANIFEST entry then I maybe screwed no matter what. My only last resort is to see if java2Parent delegation will have an effect on this.

This is such a basic configuration and I cna't believe I'm the only one who has ran into this. Has anyone used iBatis from an EAR under JBoss? If so, can you please just give me your package layout?

    Alexander,

    When I understand it correctly, you have the iBatis jar files in
    the EAR
    project and
    the iBatis configuration in the EJB project.

    Can you try to extract these configuration files and add them as a
    'shared library' to your application?
    This is a 'good practice':
    - You can configure your application without changing the EAR file.

    Also, it may solve your classloading problem.

    Greetings,
    Hans.
