[JBoss-user] Question about JBoss 2.1 EAR packaging and deployment

[Doug N. <dn...@ht...>]

I am a new user to JBoss 2.1, and have been having some difficulties in =
creating deployable EARs.

I am trying to deploy both EJB jars and WARs in an EAR archive, where =
the EJBs and WARs both need to reference the same third party jars.  I =
have already tried packaging the EJB jars, WARs, and third party =
libraries in an EAR for deployment in JBoss.  I have even added the =
third party libraries to the EAR manifest ClassPath.  The EJBs do not =
deploy due to the inability to find the third party libraries.

I have successfully deployed and tested the EJBs separately when =
starting the JBoss server with a ClassPath that included the third party =
libaries, and with the third party libraries added directly to each EJB, =
and listed in the EJB manifest ClassPath.

What is the proper way to construct an EAR such that non-EJB-WAR-Client =
jars will be seen by the EJBs and WARs.  The documentation that I have =
read so far leads me to believe that this set-up should have worked.

Any help from experienced user is appreciated.  Please respond directly, =
as I am not a member of the the mailing list.

Thanks in advance.
