dependence of libraries - the wide scope of EAR

[betounisul]

I am defining the scope of the EAR level. So have the JAR used by all modules in the folder / lib of the EAR, and WAR's WEB-INF/lib folder in the JAR for this specific module.

The problem is that when you start JBoss java.lang.NoClassDefFound the error occurs.

I have several different configurations and tests and also noticed that .xml or .properties files that are in the JARs folder / lib of the EAR are not seen by the WAR module.

The structure of the EAR is configured as follows

- myapp.ear
| - / Lib (default jar)
| - myapp.war
| --WEB-INF/lib (Specific jars of WAR)
| - myejb-ejb.jar
| META-INF / (configured xml)

How solve this problem.

Thank you.

Your ear tree doesn't look right (you should use netbeans...)
