Yes, IIRC it should be possible with an ejb-link. Check out the DTDs and instructions for ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml.

Hava a look at the answer I gave Rich on a similar problem. It may be the answer you are looking for (I hope).

Good Luck

Fredrik,

I would advise against using the lib/ext "trick".
It is a slippery slope.

If you are only interested in deploying to a single
JBoss instance or not writting portable EJBs then
so be it.

When JBoss 3.0 arrives with clustering, this "trick"
may not be so handy. You will have to put your jar(s)
in every nodes lib/ext. If you deploy as you
described with necessary dependent Home and Remotes
you can be deploy on ANY one node and have visibility.

Works that way with clustered WebLogic and WebSphere
and should work when clustering happens in 3.0...

Cheers,

Noel.
