General questions about Deployment

[marcusdidiusfalco]

Hallo!
I am trying to disentangle a legacy EJB 2.1 / Web Application while migrating from 3.2.7 to 4.2.2.
The application is deployed as an ear and a separate war archive.
Many classes and jars are deployed twice.
To clean things up I want to remove these duplicates.

Question:
- Are ejb-jars in the ear file supposed to be visible to a separetely deployed war in JBoss 4.2 with standard settings?

Thanks,

Hans

Answer: yes.

I have tried to remove a jar file which is duplicated in the ear and the war archive from the war archive. As a result the war archive is no longer deployed because of a ClassNotFound exception. But the class is also deployed in the ear archive (although in another jar file ... sigh)
This jar file is listed in application.xml:

<application>
<display-name>MigVIS - 1.0</display-name>
<module><java>lib/frame.jar</java></module>

Any ideas what I am missing?
