You _can_ do this, but you'd probably be better off with various other
techniques. For starters, is there anything preventing you from
packaging all of your EJBs into a single ejb-jar? Barring that, package
all of the ejb-jars into a single .ear?
really the problem with putting your application classes into lib/ext is
twofold: it mixes application classes with infrastructure, which will
make upgrades, server re-configuration, scaling onto multiple servers,
and various other administrative tasks more difficult. It also makes
that application's classes available to all applications deployed on any
JBoss instance that runs from that directory, which is messy at best.
Having said that, you can also do the equivalent by adding a
ClassPathExtension MBean to jboss.conf, pointing to a directory
containing jars of your application classes. This only does away with a
couple of the above objections.
