Hello,
I've got one session bean (called BopManagement) referencing another external session bean called RequestManagement (not the same package, but the same server). They work fine together but when I modify the BopManagement one in order to secure it (using my own LoginModule, and a configuration which was prooved to work fine by itseld on other beans) then jboss complained about some tags missing in the RequestManagement ejb-jar.xml/jboss.xml files, tags which are presents since thoses files hasn't changed and it didn't complain before the security changes...

I'm using Jboss 3.0.1RC1 bundled with tomcat 4.0.4

Any idea is welcome,
Antoine

Here is the JBOSS deployment error:
