Need both myapp.jar and myapp.spring?

[kevinpauli]

Do I really have to create both a .jar and a .spring? Is there any way to make jboss recognize the .spring as an ejb archive so that I can just have one deployment artifact?

On JBoss5 yes - see deployers.xml in conf/bootstrap, it includes .spring suffix as a possible jar suffix.
Once the issue with ProfileService if fixed, this will be more dynamic (it already is, but there is some minor issue, hence the pre-configured .spring entry in deployers.xml).

Dunno about JBoss4.
