Well, you have a choice. You can put them in a jar in lib/ext, in which case
you will need to restart the server when you change the class. Or you can put
them in your jar files, in which case you will need to re-build and re-deploy
all your jar files when you change it. A well-set-up build process should deal
with this without hassle.
Of course, if you want to pass instances of the class between EJBs and you have
the class in each ejb jar file, then they will be loaded by different class
loaders and will therefore give a ClassCastException. In this case lib/ext may
well be your only option.
