Hello -

Thank for the reply.

I have not moved any jars - *except* for some of the jms jars into my domain/lib/ext/ dir:
    imq.jar
    imqjmsra.jar
    jms.jar

I had to put these in place because of errors I was seeing in deploying a current ruby/rails app into the gf jruby container - which solved those issues.

I don't see this until I deploy this app into place - which seems to be in getting activemessaging to work with jms, but I do still get the class missing exception below:

[#|2010-03-29T15:02:09.940-0400|SEVERE|glassfishv3.0|grizzly|_ThreadID=18;_ThreadName=Thread-1;|doSelect exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/resource/spi/ResourceAdapter
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:698)
        at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:124)
        at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(URLClassLoader.java:260)
        at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$000(URLClassLoader.java:56)
        ...

I go into the felix console and start that specific bundle (in my case - [ 86] [Resolved ] [ 1] javax.resource API v.1.6-alpha (3.0.0.b74b)) - when I start this and restart the domain I see that it is active ([ 86] [Active ] [ 1] javax.resource API v.1.6-alpha (3.0.0.b74b)) - yet I still get the NoClassDefFoundError issue above.

So I assume I need to have this available in the classpath somehow, but not really sure how to get around this roadblock.

Thanks for your time.
