Hello,

I have a Java Web Start app running on JBoss 4.0.3sp1. This is a new 
application and I am working on getting the infrastructure nailed (and this 
includes packaging) before we start pumping in application specific 
functionality.

Here is my current layout:

application.ear contains:

META-INF\application.xml
META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
application.war

(we will be using EJBs so we do need the ear).

application.war contains:
META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
WEB-INF\jboss-web.xml
WEB-INF\web.xml
WEB-INF\lib\jnlp-servlet.jar
WEB-INF\lib\application-servlet.jar
application.jar
supporting.jar
index.html
application.jnlp
common.jar
utilities.jar
tenmorejars.jar
etc.....

The application works great except for the application specific servlet that I 
have in the WEB-INF\lib directory. I can get a connection to the servlet from 
my web start, swing application, but the servlet needs to have knowledge of 
some shared or common objects that are in the application.jar (see layout 
above).

I have read so many conflicting posts about where home grown servlets should 
go. I have read in the WEB-INF\lib folder, I have read in the WEB-INF\classes 
folder (I couldn't get this to work). I also read that my application should be 
unpackaged and the loose classes should go into the WEB-INF\classes directory 
so that the servlet in the lib directory can find them. I find this last one 
unacceptable. I have a web start application and the last thing I want to do is 
start listing all my classes as individual resources in the jnlp file. This is 
a huge app and there will be 100s of classes.

To reiterate.. Did I put the application servlet jar in the correct place? This 
servlet is responsible for doing DB I/O, and if it is in the right place, how 
do I go about having the servlet know about other application related shared 
objects wihout going back to the dark ages of using loose classes in the 
classes folder? If that even works. I like my packaging scheme, I am hoping I 
just need to jockey some jars around a little.

Thanks in advance for any input.
