title says it all. If I bundle a series of EJB-jar files into an EAR file and deploy the EAR file, can the EJB's see one another's classes?

I have the following:

EJB1:
Bean1.class
...

EJB2:
Bean2.class
BeanIfc2.class
ModelObject.class

Can Bean1 see ModelObject if EJB1 and EJB2 (jar files) are deployed together in the same EAR?

Thanks in advance,

Probably yes. Since EJB2.0 it is rather commom to see all EJBs in the same EAR share the same classloader.

WAR modules, not. They have each its own isolated classloader, wich in turn in a "child" of the EJB classloader. That is why a WAR can automatically see the EJB-jar classes.

This is commom behaviour in all app servers since EJB2.0.

I mean "common", sorry...
