EJB Classloader question

[anthonyhong]

I use jboss4.0.1sp1 as application server.

I deploy my j2ee ear with a manifest.mf file in meta-inf folder of EAR to tell server additional libary it depends.
Class-Path: lib/jdom-b9.jar

I have one ejb module and one web application module in this ear.

When jboss start load ejb in this ear, error occured, a class can not be found, which is in jdom package.

Then I tried to put this manifest file into ejb's meta-inf folder, it works.

But I didn't do anything in my web app module. It still can find jdom.jar.

I am curisous about ejb class loader. When it cann't find class in his own package, what's the loading sequence it will take?
EJB loader will never watch on ear's class path?

I get this same behavior in JBoss 3.2.6 with the EJB classpath. I don't have a war so can't confirm the WAR classpath behavior.

Then this should be JBOSS's problem, As the order of its class loader is not properly.
Is it correct?
Any solution of this problem?
