deployment of helper classes

[matt_furness]

Hi,

I have a couple of helper classes that a number of beans use, at the moment i am packaging these classes with each of the beans that use them. Is there a more efficient approach.

Thanks in advance

You can put them in the lib directory of your JBoss instance as a packaged jar - e.g. for the default instance put them in server/default/lib in the 3.x versions of JBoss. The instance classloader will deal with loading these classes and they will be available to your EJBs or other J2EE components deployed.
