If I want to deploy Annotation based service ("@Service" rather than using META-INF/jboss-service.xml", I have to name the extension .ejb3 for it to deploy and work. It seems like if I name it .sar it never looks for @Service annotated classes.
Now I need to deploy a service archieve which is supposed to configure client and EJB 3.0 application security (using META-INF/jboss-service.xml). I need access to "EJB" Session bean within this service module. When deploying as SAR, the annotations @SessionContext and @EJB does not seem to work, whereas when I deploy as ".ejb3", then META-INF/jboss-service.xml is not read. What solution do you guys recommend.
1. If you can point me in the right direction/documentation, etc anything will help.
2. Is there some documentation that I can get from JBoss that can explain this. There are quite a fe details in 4.0.3 JBoss admin guide which seems to be out of sync in several sections related to Services.
3. What is JBoss's direction/roadmap for EJB 3.0 support and JBoss extensions for EJB 3.0. I read somewhere that the ".par", ".har", ".ejb3" extensions will be deprecated. Where can I find more information.
N.B.: I have registered for JBoss Advanced traning in NYC this coming 6th.
