Seems like I'm not the only one facing this problem. Dependent classes in a separate JAR will work well for the application in a EAR file but we don't use EAR files for development as the development-package-deploy-test cycle will take too long.
Like you I am looking for a definitive answer to how hot deployed EJBs and WARs reference dependent JARs. Also, can these dependent JARs be hot deployed too and that the deployed EJBs and WARs will not "renew" their reference to the newly deployed dependent JAR? I think we are all sick of restarting JBoss each time some dependant JAR is updated. We need an answer for this. Whether it is yes, no, maybe and for which version of JBoss, I don't care as long as there is an answer.

Also note that although vanilla beans can hot deploy you will still get class not found errors because the ejbs load first. That is where adding Class-Path entries to the MANIFEST.MF file of an ejb jar would come in handy but those settings do not appear to have any effect. The same problem existed in weblogic. Still looking for a definitive statement on hot deploy of shared classes that are used by ejbs or wars. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
