How about we create a <tomcat_home>/ejbapps directory by default? This would be the directory where you place your shared ejb-jar files. Of course we would still let users specify a different location for the shared apps, but I think this would be an easy default for a Tomcat admin to understand.
It makes sense as the central point of configuration files is Tomcat rather than OpenEJB. I like the idea. Following it, OpenEJB could check out if the directory exists and in case it does, make these ejbjars shared across webapps.
