Something like that should work.  

Interestingly the topic of alt-dds and EJBs in .war files came up in the Java EE 6 EG.  Specifically, that alt-dd support is at best ambiguous and at worst broken now that a single module can be many different types.  It was an incredibly short conversation with little participation that basically ended in "well if people complain, we can fix it next time."

Anyway, putting the openejb-jar in the geronimo-web.xml is pretty natural.
