Hmm, I racked my brain for a while thinking where did I see this (ejb 2.0
recommending one-jar packing)? Since I participate in an aweful lot of
discussion groups, this exercise in recall wasn't easy! Was it this
newsgroup or j2ee-interest, theserverside, javalobby, lajug, or bea
newsgroup?
And then all of a sudden, it hit me: It's the latest article by Tyler!

<Tyler's snippet>
One of the possible solutions is to eliminate the need for multiple JARs in
your J2EE application by converging all of your EJBs and their utility
classes into a single, unified package. The EJB 2.0 public final draft 2
(PFD2) specification is driving some projects to do this. This new version
of the specification mandates that entity EJBs participating in a
relationship do so using local interfaces and requires both of the EJBs in
the relationship to be packaged into the same JAR file.

Don't tell me there's some BEA in-house ideological conflict! :-)

Mmmh... Local Interfaces and packages are two orthogonal notions, I can't
see why one would recommend to put all beans that have a relationship with
each other in the same package.
Can you remember where you read this?
