RE: [jBoss-Dev] Complex J2EE Deployment was RE: Proposedrefactoring...

|I wanted to make a small suggestion for this new and improved
|deployment facility about which we've been talking. I think it would
|be great if it supported the new <ejb-link> syntax, which allows
|bean references to use a path name within an EAR file prepended
|to the bean name and separated by #. (See 9.3.2 of the proposed
|final EJB 2.0 draft.)

that is actually a good idea, if we can work from the contents of the jar it
will be great

|Also, I wanted to point out that the use of <ejb-link> to refer to an
|EJB outside of the current EAR is non-compliant, so applications
|that used such a feature wouldn't be portable. IMHO if you want to
|link to a bean in a different EAR, jboss should only support this in
|our jboss-specific xml file. That way we won't encourage non-
|portable deployment descriptors. However, I can see the ease-of-
|use argument for the other point of view.
