I installed JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA and deploying ESB and Riftsaw (including updating the web service stack). When JBoss is started, a set of error messages appear in the log about not being able to instantiate an object due to multiple bindings of the same (or sufficiently similar) class present in the classpath.

The relevant section of the log is pasted below for consultation.
