    Description

      Found what I think may be a classloading issue while working on the S-RAMP project.

      We include RESTEasy in our WARs because we want a single WAR that runs in multiple containers and because we need a newer version of RESTEasy. If you deploy two WARs that both package RESTEasy, then you will get a ClassCastException. See the linked RESTEasy Jira issue I entered for this problem (I'm not sure if it's a bug in resteasy or jboss).

      Ultimately it seems that a class is loaded from the RESTEasy module included in JBoss AS, despite that module being excluded via the jboss-deployment-structure.xml file.

      A sample maven project showing this problem is included on the linked RESTEasy issue.

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
