NoClassDefFoundError when class is in JBoss AS7 WAR WEB-INF/classes folder

Question

I'm using JBoss AS7. I get a ClassNotFoundException when attempting to deploy my app - looks like it's not finding JMSException

JMSException.class is not in /modules/javax/jms. I have this class in a jar file - javaee-api-6.0.jar. I copied this jar file to /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib, but I'm still receiving this ClassNotFoundException.

I need help debugging. One thing I tried - I thought maybe the /modules/javax module JBoss was loading was conflicting with my javaee-api-6.0.jar file - so I tried to exclude it with a src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml file

<jboss-deployment-structure>
  <deployment>
    <exclusions>
        <module name="javax.jms" />
    </exclusions>
  </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

but I still get the same NoClassDefFoundError. Any advice on how to fix?

Have you enabled the module of JMS in the jbossas7?By default in the standalone.xml isn't enabled.You have to edit the standalone.xml you are using and then it will load the jms and the implementation(aka Hornetq).
