[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & DEPLOYMENT] - share an EJB3 layer between 2 ear files(advanced question)

[deanhiller]

I already have two posts on seam on this but I thought it might be a JBoss question now that I think about it more.  Here is the previous two posts..

Basically, I can't seem to deploy an entities.jar in the deployment directory and have two ear files use it.  I have been reading up on classloader config with loader-repository and such but it seams that each ear file loads the EJB into it's own classloader.  I really want them to both just have entities.jar in a parent classloader so then the apps are separate, but they share entities.jar.  After all, I can do this EASILY in OSGi, and isn't JBoss now based on OSGi so I would think in the future I could do it, but the question is, is it doable today?

I want the two apps sharing entites.jar AND the cache that goes with it so the apps can be more performant together as the users switch between apps.
thanks,
Dean
