Rod, Attached is my application.xml.
The floating JAR, eif-service_locator.jar, does not have a module type; it's a JAR that contains dependencies for many of the EJBs. Check this reference (http://www.jboss.org/faq.jsp#FAQ-BEANDEV-NORMALJARS) for how I have my EAR structured. All EJBs listed in application.xml have a manifest file whose Class-Path entry lists eif-service_locator.jar and other "floating JARs" (I like your terminology ;-)). Likewise, I would like to know what the expected or spec-compliant behavior is for support JARs. Again, thanks for your help, Craig
