Why are my EJBs mounted in JNDI twice?

[johk]

When I deploy my application to jBoss it seems to work ok. However, looking into JNDI using the JndiView mBean I see that my EJBs appear to be deployed twice. Once at the JNDI root and again within the context of the ear.

Any ideas? Is this normal?

Not normal. Are there 2 separate applications being deployed at the same time with these EJBs?

Looking at your post in other thread:

Are you (by mistake), packaging an EAR within an EAR? application-ear-default.ear within application-ear-default.ear

jaikiran,

Just had a look and I discovered I'm bundling the ejb jar at the root of the EAR and in the EAR's lib folder. Will fix that and let you know how it turns out.
