      Here are an example class and a jsp to reproduce the problem:

      LoadImageTest.java
      package example.loadimage.fail;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.beans.SimpleBeanInfo;
public class LoadImageTest extends SimpleBeanInfo {
	public Image image;

	public LoadImageTest(){
		image = loadImage2("icon.png");
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		LoadImageTest test = new LoadImageTest();
		System.out.println("Is image null? " + (test.image == null));
	}
	// Note: This method was pulled out of the JDK src file for SimpleBeanInfo.java.
	// This allows for easier debugging, you can actually see the local variables.
	public java.awt.Image loadImage2(final String resourceName) {
		try {
			final Class c = getClass();
			java.awt.image.ImageProducer ip = (java.awt.image.ImageProducer)
			java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(
			new java.security.PrivilegedAction() {
				public Object run() {
					java.net.URL url;
					if ((url = c.getResource(resourceName)) == null) {
						return null;
					} else {
						try {
							return url.getContent();
						} catch (java.io.IOException ioe) {
							return null;
						}
					}
				}
			});
			if (ip == null)
			return null;
			java.awt.Toolkit tk = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
			return tk.createImage(ip);
		} catch (Exception ex) {
			// will end up here because the PrivilegedAction returns something that cannot be cast
			// to an ImageProducer when this is run in JBoss AS 6.0.0.FINAL. In JBoss the returned
			// object will be a VirtualFile instead of an ImageProducer.
			return null;
		}
	}

      URL.getContent() behaves differently within JBoss than it does in a normal JVM. In our case, when a jar is used in a normal JVM, URL.getContent() returns an ImageProducer. When the same jar is used from within JBoss, a VirtualFile is returned which then causes a ClassCastException.

      Note: This worked fine in JBoss 4.2.3.GA.
