After reading a lot of documentation during our port of a Spring application from Tomcat to Jboss 6

I finally got it to work.  I thought I would provide a simple example of what I did.

It does not use the .spring deployer but does use the snowdrop vfs capabilities for loading the Spring context.

Steps:

1. Copy your spring libraries to the $JBOSS_HOME/common/lib

     These come from the target/WEB-INF/lib area after the maven build is done.

2. Make sure you have maven etc.

3.  Change the jboss dir in the pom properties

4.  Run  mvn clean package jboss:harddeploy

Note:  I am assuming that one knows how to use maven:

In your pom properties you need to change the jboss_home directory

I hope it saves you some time in your efforts to get Spring/Jboss working together.
