According to

Section 1.3. EAR and WAR files

...For WAR files, JBoss 4.0.x does not yet support deploying a persistence archive with WEB-INF/lib as required by the spec.

Is that still the case or is there any more recent version (than JBoss 4.0.4RC1) that does support the deployment of WAR archives ?

I have been unsuccessfully trying to deploy a WAR on JBoss 4.0.4RC1 for a few hours that deploys (and works) fine on a recent Glassfish build. Then I found this statement....

My WAR contains both JSF pages and the entities that are used to persist data from the pages to the database using CMP - that's why I would like to keep all components in one WAR.
