I noticed in the jBoss docs
(http://www.jboss.org/documentation/HTML/ch10s71.html) that the manifest can be
used for support classes. I am reading into this documentation that the
auto-deployer loads all reasources in a particular EAR file using the same
classloader. If so, this should solve my problem, but is this J2EE compliant?
Can I expect every j2EE compliant appserver to deploy these support/helper
classes with the same capabilities?
