<html><body>Hi Jack,<br>
<br>
<br>
By the Java EE spec, all local references (ejb-ref, resource-ref, env-ref) are supposed to be under java:comp/env/. The specs also says this prefix is ommited from the standard deployment descriptors (web.xml, ejb-jar.xml) and so JBoss AS is simply being consistent by omitting also from its proprietary deploymento descriptos (jboss-web.xml, jboss.xml)<br>
