EAR packaging

[amanmanocha]

Hi,

Please help me understand the packaging of an ear. Here is one scenario :

Lets say there are two modules(ModuleA and ModuleB) in the system, both modules have their own set of session beans and entity beans.
Then there is another module (say a Facade) which makes use of session beans from both modules.


|-------ModuleA
Client-----Facade---
|-------ModuleB


The Facade is exposed as RMI endpoint the clients.
If I package the entire application in one jar then every thing works fine but if I try to make separate jars for the two modules, I encounter a lot of problems.

Please help me understand how packaging of an ear is done when there are multiple persistence units.
Do I have to keep the session beans and entity beans in separate jar files?

Thanks in advance,
Aman

Can the facade directly use the entities defined in the entities?

Hmm, I do not understand much your explanations. You shoulb be able to break a JAR into more JARs without any problem. Can you describe, what's the content of your EAR?
