ejb classloader problem

[Sean Laval <se...@uk.ibm.com>]

I have an EJB module that uses JCS deployed to a WebSphere Portal 5
application server. The JCS library is shipped as an EAR library. If the
application delegation mode is set to Parent_First I get the following
error when the ejb tries to start.

If I set the delegation mode to parent last the app will start but I am
reluctant to do that for various reasons, 1 of which is getting class cast
exceptions when looking up and casting ejb homes.

Can anyone help me please?

Regards,

Sean
