Hi,

When deploying a .war file in JBoss 5.1 (default config) I'm facing the same problem described here:JBoss 4 to Jboss 5 migration: JSF, EJB3...

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Exception loading class for ScopeKey addition.

        at org.jboss.deployers.vfs.deployer.kernel.BeanMetaDataFactoryVisitor.addBeanComponent(BeanMetaDataFactoryVisitor.java:67)

        at org.jboss.deployers.vfs.deployer.kernel.BeanMetaDataFactoryVisitor.deploy(BeanMetaDataFactoryVisitor.java:126)

        ... 34 more

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.webbeans.bootstrap.WebBeansBootstrap from BaseClassLoader@141bf9f{VFSClassL

As suggested, if I remove the jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\deployers\webbeans.deployer folder the problem is solved.

Or commenting the lines in jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\deployers\webbeans.deployer\META-INF\webbeans-deployers-jboss-beans.xml file the problem is gone.

But I would like to disable webbeans-deployers not touching the server files, just using configuration files inside my war.

Is this possible?

I've found this thread but it is not clear enough to me how to achieve it.

JBoss5 - disable webbeans.deployer

Note: the same .war works on JBoss 4.2.0

Thanks.
