Accessing EJB in seperate EAR

[jej2003]

I am trying to access an EJB (SLSB) in a separate EAR file (not isolated) using injection. When I do this I get an error that the dependent class is not loaded because of the load order. Is there a way to have JBoss load the other ear first without using the prefix loader?

No, but you can get it to load the second EAR file last by creating a server/xxx/deploy/last directory and placing the second EAR file into that directory.

Another alternative is to add into the second EAR a dependency on the MBean created for the EJB in the first EAR.
