HQ222078: Error instantiating remoting interceptor xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx: java.lang.IllegalStateException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Issue

• We are trying to upgrade from EAP 6.1 to the latest EAP 6.4 update 5 [EAP 6.4.5]. We are using Interceptors to log all incoming messages. We put the jar containing Interceptor class xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx under $JBOSS_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/as/messaging/main. It used to work in 6.1 but after upgrading to 6.4.5, we see the following exception:
