That's right, you have to give the full path and the name of the ejb-jar.
If the given path is a relative path, it is relative from where the GenIC or the
EJBServer is launched.

I think this proposal doesn't work when you have to 'load' two ejb-jar files in
the EJBServer.
Indeed, the xml deployment descriptors are stored with the same name in the both
ejb-jar files:
META-INF/ejb-jar.xml for the standard xml deployment descriptor,
and META-INF/jonas-ejb-jar.xml for the JOnAS specific xml deployment
descriptor.
The Server will not be able to read the two differents META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
files of the
two ejb-jar files; it would be able to read only one, depending on the order the
two ejb-jar files
are adding to the XTRA_CLASSPATH variable.

Note that we have done a modification about this in the current development
version of JOnAS.
If the Server doesn't find the given ejb-jar file, than it looks for this
ejb-jar file
in the $JONAS_ROOT/ejb-jars directory.
This allows to give ejb-jar file's name without to have to specify the path,
if the ejb-jar file is previously copied in the $JONAS_ROOT/ejb-jars/ directory.
