For the deployment details, see the Orion primer - http://www.jollem.com
I generally move all classes from the WEB-INF/classes folder into the ejb
module (makes it more portable etc) - makes them more visible.

Thanks for the note. One thing..since I compile all of my classes into the
www/WEB-INF/classes dir, should I put a META-INF in the /classes dir, and
just point the module to the WEB-INF/classes folder? Would that work?
Not that I want you to tell me everything, ok..I do, but what exactly do I
need to get EJB deployed in that way? My first stab that I want to do is
create a login process. I would like to use statless session beans, and also
use an entity bean..using CMP. I created 3 classes, Login, LoginBean and
LoginHome. I have them in com.mycompany.ejb package. That compiles to
www/WEB-INF/classes dir. So do I make application.xml like so:
<module>/www/WEB-INF/classes</module>
where the com folder starts? Or do I actually have to point them directly to
the .class files themselves? If the classes are compiled in a package, I
assume I need to point the ejb module setting to the root package right?
Furthermore, do I need that ejb.xml file in META-INF? If so, what should it
be set to if I am using an expanded dir? Lastly, how the heck to I get the
entity bean added..is that a forth class, or a whole set of 3 different
classes, one being the entity bean, the other two being like the home and
remote objects? It seems kind of silly that I would need 6 classes to do the
login process..3 for the session/logic stuff, and 3 for the entity/database
mapping.
Thanks so much..I appreciate the help.
