Mixed EJB 2.1 and 3.0 in ejb-jar.xml

[rkite01]

Is it possible to have legacy 2.1 beans and 3.0 beans defined in the same ejb-jar.xml file? If you can override EJB 3.0 beans annotations in ejb-jar.xml then it seems that 2.1 and 3.0 should play well in the same file.

I have replaced the <ejb-jar> tag in ejb-jar.xml with the 3.0 xsd in an existing project. When it deploys in JBoss 4.2 I get errors complaining about the EJB 2.1 xml tags.

You can mix ejb2.1 and ejb3 in your application. But they need to be deployed via separate jars.

Thanks, that is what I have done.
