JBoss 4.2.3 and hibernate search

[Abhishekh Padmanabhan]

I am having problems in getting hibernate search to work in our development environment. We deploy ejb and war on separate servers to allow decoupling in development. The problem i am having is I cannot get hibernate search to work and it causes the following exception

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.search.FullTextSession.createFullTextQuery(Lorg/apache/lucene/search/Query;[Ljava/lang/Class Lorg/hibernate/search/FullTextQuery;

When i bundle the hibernate annotation, entity manager, commons annotation (versions 3.3.0) into an ear it works fine.

I know it has to do with the version of the above jarsin JBoss as it works fine when i bundle the specific version and deploy it as an ear. My question is is there any way i can get it to work in the dev env as above where ejb and war are deployed separately without having to copy those jars to the JBoss lib.

Unfortunately I think it's the only safe approach (I haven't done extensive tests though).
