In all of your examples you have a orion-specific deployment-descriptor _inside_ the ear/jar/war-file. What happens if one doesn't supply this dd. That is: sometimes you will get ejb's and war-files from people using for example the RI, do you really need to unpack the archive-file and add orions deployment descriptor to deploy the beans/web-application? Also, much of the information you provide in orion-ejb-jar.xml is very specific to current environment (like what data-source to use when using CMP etc.) Wouldn't it be nice to be able to specify what orion-specific dd to use in the configuration-files? Somewhat like (in server.xml): <application name="news" path="../applications/news.ear" orion-dd="orion-news-dd.xml"/> Jon Tirs�n Chief Architect Itec Open Business Integrator AB PGP key lookup: http://certserver.pgp.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE9032B9A
