Another important issue: how are we going to keep this backportable to AS 4.x? I've committed ejb3/build-from-5.xml in Branch_4_2 just to try something out. It clearly shows the security portability problem. Check the jboss.as.root variable in the first line. I need to pull this to a properties file. cd ejb3; ./build.sh -f build-from-5.xml clean compile-classes View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4049222#...
