Install Alfresco 3.4e in JBoss AS 5.1

[chicco0386]

Hi all,
I've installed Alfresco 3.4e in a JBoss AS 5.1 and it start correctly, but if I'm going to install some extension that I've in an older tomcat installation and put it inside /server/default/conf/alfresco/extension, for example for LDAP configuration and synchronization I put the "subsystems" directory inside the extension folder, but when I restart the server this new extension is not read correctly, infact I've a  LDAP connection exception why Alfresco read the subsystems folder inside the war that's it's not set correctly.

Can you help me please?
Thank you

Hello,
I'm facing of the same issue with Alfresco 3.4.a, JBoss 5.1.2 (and Red Hat 5.5EL).

This is quite strange, because my alfresco-global.properties is correctly loaded from /conf, but not my subsystems.
My tree structure is identiqual :

$JBOSS_HOME/conf/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/external/external_xxx
$JBOSS_HOME/deploy/alfresco.war/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/external/external_xxx

OR

$JBOSS_HOME/conf/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap-ad/ldap-ad_xxx
$JBOSS_HOME/deploy/alfresco.war/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap-ad/ldap-ad_xxx

As far as I know, /conf is considered as a root of ClassLoader, like anApp.war/WEB-INF/classes.
So, I'm currently looking for a bad Spring Import like :
<import resource="../subsystems/some-context.xml" />

instead of
<import resource="classpath:/alfresco/subsystems/**/*.xml" />

Does any one knows how to solve it ?

After further googling , it seems that' an issue between JBoss 5.x and Spring 2.5 :
https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPR-5120
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SNOWDROP-4

I didn't test yet solutions given above (copying some jars in server/<conf>/lib), but f it can help …

After deeeper searches, I had to apologize. ops:
I forgot to put this line on JBOSS configuration script :

JBOSS_CLASSPATH="${JBOSS_CLASSPATH}:/app/jboss/courant/server/${JBOSS_CONF}/conf"

Since I did it, that works fine -_-.

I hope that will help …
