Hi!
One .jar could contain and normally does contain multiple beans. All the
information for deployment of these beans goes in just one ejb-jar.xml.
The contents of ejb-jar.xml are specified by the EJB specification from
SUN. Into the same dir (META-INF) goes jboss.xml and jaws.xml. You don't
need them to start. jboss.xml specifies settings which are special to
jBoss. jaws.xml specifies special mappings for storing CMP beans
(container managed persistence) into a database. To start you only need
ejb-jar.xml. JBoss wil use good default settings for everything else.
Good luck,
Tobias
