I've hit this problem on JBoss EAP 5.1 Beta with my EJBs exposed as JAX-WS web services when I've started using @Depends (org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.Depends) annotation on some other EJBs they depend on. All EJBs reside in a single EAR.
How to take advantage of the mentioned workaround? Could you post some specific instructions/example code?
