Im trying to deploy an application (.ear file) to JBoss 5, and I'm receiving the following error. The app deploys fine under 4.2.2.

That's the error message from the console, and I can't figure out much from that...
The application just contains web services and a servlet that loads on startup to initialize and cache some data.
We have an EAR file which contains a few JAR files (one of them being named ugc-ws.jar) for libraries that we use, and also a WAR file which has the web.xml to load a servlet - this WAR file also has the same ugc-ws.jar in it's lib directory because the servlet is inside that JAR. So basically we have the main EAR file, and within it multiple jar files, as well as a WAR file - which also has a JAR file inside it's lib directory. And the error looks like it's coming from the WAR.
This is the output from "jar -tf ugc-ws.war":

Just for testing, I remvoed the .WAR file from the .EAR and the application deploys without any errors, but obviously w/out the data from the WAR, i can't use the application. The way I'm deploying is just dropping the .EAR file into the server\all\deploy directory.
I've tried splitting up the ugc-ws.jar into two separate jars, one with just the webservices and the other w/ just the servlet, but I still receive the same error.
Just weird that this worked fine in JBoss 4 but not on JBoss 5.
Thanks
