Hi to all,
few years ago, I raised an alert concerning the compatibility between Tapestry5 
and JBoss; the thread was:

"Is tapestry plastic incompatible with JEE specs?"

https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tapestry-users/201512.mbox/%3Ctrinity-fc3b0e36-0402-4d71-b48a-4a464cbd6474-1449857158334@3capp-mailcom-lxa14%3E

At that time I found a workaround and concluded that there was no way to solve 
the issue, thinking that was a problem related to the jboss classloader (or, 
more generally, between an appserver classloader and the behaviour of plastic).

Few days ago, working on a new project under JBoss 7.0.0.GA, I was again badly 
hitted by this problem, but this time I investigated more thoroughly the issue 
and I found the source of all evil: the class 
"org.apache.tapestry5.internal.plastic.asm.ClassWriter" of plastic.

The classloader used to find (and load) the classes by plastic is really not 
compatible with an appserver. An appserver is required to enforce classloaded 
isolation and plastic ignores this.
Anyway plastic can be patched to solve the issue; here I attach a patch, please 
I ask to some developer to kindly forward and apply this patch to the 5.4.x 
branch and to the 5.5.

I also want to give thanks to these guys to help me to focus the problem:
