Use of additional jar files from ejb's

Hello.
I am using geronimo 1.1 and I have a few jar files (5
or 6) I'd like to use from ejb's in a ejb-jar file.
What is the best way to package them, preferable
together, so I can access them from the beans. I did
some initial tries to pack the jars into the ejb-jar
file and set the Class-Path in the Manifes but the
classes in the extra jars was not found. Anyone have
any idea how to do or any pointer to some
documentation.

Thanks in advance
Thomas

Hello Mario.

Thanks for your suggestion. Works great. Did not think
about package everything in a ear file. I have mostly
been working with ejb-jar files and standalone
clients.

Hi Thomas,

you could package your ejb-jar file along with the other
jars into one ear archive and the set the Class-Path
entry in the ejb-jars manifest.

myapp.ear/
           ejb-jar.jar
           one.jar
           two.jar

you have to add an application.xml to the META-INF dir
of the ear referencing you ejb-jar as an module.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
              xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
              xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
                http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/application_1_4.xsd"
              version="1.4">

   <display-name>MyApp</display-name>

   <module>
     <ejb>ejb-jar.jar</ejb>
   </module>
</application>


Thanks,
Mario
