I have noticed that we can use the manifest file for use in a jar file(in j2ee for the ejb.jar)and set the classpath attribute to point to a util jar file i want to use(this is stated in the spec as points to the java extension mechanism). this solves my case in the matter of the ejb container. in the matter of web container i looked in the spec and i know that util jars can be in the /lib directory. this will force a person to put the util jar in two places, can one use the manifest in a war file to point to a util jar? is this a common solution??? (NOTE: i assume that all jar/war are under the same ear)

Hi, My opinion is that in this case a helper class is the right solution. I see the use of the session ejb-s only for business logic that needs/requires the advantages of the ejb container. I usually put such things in a helper class added to the jar file that contains the ejb-s. Anyway, in case that you have to call it also from a servlet (so the war file), here an ejb approach fits better, otherwise please help, a common helper for both jar and war files seems a little bit complex; it's possible to mix in an .ear file this helper (via config files, ...)?
