Hi all,

I have a problem deploying my seam application.
In my application structure I have 2 EARs. One with the services and one with the web-frontend (with seam). In the service-ear I have entity beans which have Seam annotations. Now when I deploy both ears Seam only install the component from web-frontend and skip the entity beans from the service-ear. I found following lines in the log-file, so Seam seems to find the entity but doesn't want to deploy it:

Have someone else try to deploy entity beans outside a Seam application and got Seam to use them? What is the best practice for such kind of scenario?

The environement is Seam 2.0.1.GA on JBoss 4.2.2

Thank in advance
