Soap Web Service migration from tomcat to Jboss 4.2.3

Question

I have web service which is using JAXB as marshaller. When i was deplaying it on Tomcat server everything was ok, parsing, sending response - all good. When i changed to Jboss 4.2.3 i got following exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jboss.ws.core.soap.TextImpl cannot be cast to org.w3c.dom.Comment

any clue what am i missing?

Answer 1

Ok, so i got answer, problem lies in Classloader of JBOSS. Implementation of server contains some of the classes which are used before my project dependencies, thats why JBOSS use default parser insteed of javax.xml.bind to parse JAXB.
