Unexpected element 'class-loading' in jboss-web.xml when migrating to JBoss EAP 6/7

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

We are migrating an application from JBoss EAP 4. The loader-repository in jboss-web.xml is failing. What is the equivalent be for the following contents of that file:

<jboss-web> 
  <class-loading> 
    <loader-repository>org.hibernate:loader=hibernate3.jar</loader-repository> 
  </class-loading> 
</jboss-web> 

The error received is:
