Hot deploy not longer working on JBoss (“Scheme change not implemented”)

Question

I\'ve got a pretty annoying problem with my JBoss AS 4.2.3 GA.

Until recently everything was running fine, but now the hot deploy feature is now longer working. And

Answer 1

In my case "Hot code replace failed - Scheme change not implemented" was caused by IDE using another compiler than compiler used to build files deployed on J2EE server. You can binary compare class files in your J2EE archive with class files compiled by IDE in your workspace - they should be identical.

Answer 2

Ok, I did the following things now:

1. Uninstall all JDKs
2. Install only one JDK, namely JDK5 (cause that's the one we use in production)
3. Clean, install and deploy every project anew

And now it seems to work (I'm keeping my fingers crossed).

I've used JDK 6 Update 20 for building in Eclipse and JDK 6 Update 7 in Maven. Maybe that has caused the problem.
