             Summary: Struts 2.3.8 convention plugin doesn't work with EAR on JBoss 5.1
                 Key: WW-3984
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3984
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Actions
    Affects Versions: 2.3.8
         Environment: JBoss 5.0 and 5.1, java 1.6 update 34
            Reporter: Rafal
            Priority: Critical


Convention plugin is not able to read classes found in jar files when they are deployed inside a EAR file under JBoss 5.0 and 5.1 version.

Error = file not found exception. 

I've debugged the issue (classes PackageBasedActionConfigBuilder and ClassFinder) and there is no possibility to fix this using any of the configuration parameters.

This is only happening when EAR is not exploded. 
I've check/read the forum and asked google about this and could not find any information if and when this will be fixed. Are there any plans to add a fix that will allow to use annotations with EAR files on JBoss ?

This issue is serious since my project contains dozens of actions that are defined via annotation (I would really want to avoid defining them in xml). When deployed in EAR to JBoss they don't work. 

Any help/workable workaround is appreciated.
