If, indeed, you've put it anywhere on disk... One of the points to the modularisation is that you can leave out modules you're not using, so what if you're only creating a servlet-based web app and aren't using EJBs? Doing it this way means the web module will have a dependency on the ejb module - do we want that? And if not, then why should the web module be using @ejb.ejb-ref (or @ejb.anything) tags rather than @web.ejb-ref, like we had before? Even if we can avoid an actual dependency, the fact it uses those tags implies a dependency, which may confuse users... Or maybe we should change both of them to use e.g. @j2ee.ejb-ref so that it's obviously not specific to either module?
