The jboss-4.0.1 final release for the J2EE™ 1.4 codebase. For information on the APIs that make up J2EE 1.4, see J2EE v1.4 Documentation. For a comprehensive tutorial on J2EE 1.4, see The J2EE™ 1.4 Tutorial. A jboss-4.0.x getting started guide that is based on contents from the tutorial can be found on the JBoss web site documentation section, 4.0 Getting Started Guide.
Note that this distribution has switched back to the 3.2.x types of distribution configurations:
The standard configuration from the 4.0.0-4.0.1RC1 releases has been dropped and the default flat class loading model from 3.0.x-3.2.x has been restored for the default configuration. This change in behavior was done to restore consistency with the 3.2.x class loading model. The 4.0.0 scoped class loading behavior and call by value JNDI lookup behavior can be restored by:
<mbean code="org.jboss.naming.NamingService"
name="jboss:service=Naming">
<!-- The call by value mode. true if all lookups are unmarshalled using
the caller's TCL, false if in VM lookups return the value by reference.
-->
<attribute name="CallByValue">true</attribute>
<!-- The listening port for the bootstrap JNP service. Set this to -1
to run the NamingService without the JNP invoker listening port.
-->
...
</mbean>
<server>
<!-- EAR deployer, remove if you are not using ear deployments -->
<mbean code="org.jboss.deployment.EARDeployer"
name="jboss.j2ee:service=EARDeployer">
<!-- A flag indicating if ear deployments should have their own scoped
class loader to isolate their classes from other deployments.
-->
<attribute name="Isolated">true</attribute>
<!-- A flag indicating if the ear components should have in VM call
optimization disabled.
-->
<attribute name="CallByValue">true</attribute>
</mbean>
</server>
<server>
<mbean code="org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.Tomcat5"
name="jboss.web:service=WebServer">
<!-- Get the flag indicating if the normal Java2 parent first class
loading model should be used over the servlet 2.3 web container first
model.
-->
<attribute name="Java2ClassLoadingCompliance">false</attribute>
<attribute name="LenientEjbLink">true</attribute>
<!-- A flag indicating if the JBoss Loader should be used. This loader
uses a unified class loader as the class loader rather than the tomcat
specific class loader.
-->
<attribute name="UseJBossWebLoader">false</attribute>
Note that jboss-4.0.0 had Java2ClassLoadingCompliance=true and UseJBossWebLoader=false which means
that wars did not load from classes from the war preferentially so it was not being scoped.
