ClassCastException HibernatePersistence PersistenceProvider

[alius]

Hi,

It looks like your problem is related to JBoss class loading.

SmartGWT has it's own hibernate copy and it looks like it clashes with JBoss'es one.

Googling gives a lot of results - I haven't found a clear answer but some threads look promising:

I am porting my existing EJB3 application contained within a .ear and an existing GWT/SmartGWT application contained within a .war to run on Jboss 6 final. Both applications ran on jboss 4.2.3 GA. The SmartGWT application called back into services from JBoss 4.2.3

I am using SmartGWTPower 2.4

Since the SmartGWT application calls into a JBoss services; therefore I included: jboss-service-client.jar and jboss-service-jmx-client.jar as well as utility jar from the original application. When I do this I get the following exception on deployment:

DEPLOYMENTS IN ERROR:

Can anyone provide any insight into why this might be happening?
