JavaEE cartridge 5.8.1

We are getting this error:
2012-06-07 12:37:40,484 ERROR [ProfileServiceBootstrap] (Thread-2) Failed to load profile:: org.jboss.deployers.client.spi.IncompleteDeploymentException: Summary of incomplete deployments (SEE PREVIOUS ERRORS FOR DETAILS):

DEPLOYMENTS IN ERROR:
Deployment "vfs:///E:/S4MPrograms/fcallop/jboss610/jboss/server/default/deploy/AdSalesNG.ear" is in error due to the following reason(s): java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: as.sm.optimiser.xml.Distribution from BaseClassLoader@7b4712c3{vfs:///E:/S4MPrograms/fcallop/jboss610/jboss/server/default/deploy/AdSalesNG.ear}

including it in SafeMode classes helped previously.

checked the watched classes and there is no class called as/sm/optimiser/xml/Distribution. Which means that this classfile is not loaded by the classloader-that kinda matches what the exception is also complaining about.

Pls find out how this class is getting loaded - from some precompiled jar or something?
And its not clear why instrumentation would cause this error and there is no error when it is not instrumented.

If including it in SafeMode classes helped previously, then excluding it from instrumentation would help now (which may or may not be the final solution). So have them add the line below in InstrumentedClasses section and the error should go away.
exclude "as.sm.",
