[jboss-user] [Beginners Corner] - Re: Where do external jar files go in the ear?

You can define them in application.web: | Code: | | | myjar.jar | | | | And you place it in the root dir. of the EAR. | | Not a good idea. The element is to be used for J2EE application clients and should not be used as a method for deploying third party/utility jars. The correct way to do this is to define a Classpath entry in the MANIFEST.MF file of each J2EE module (ie EJB jar file/WAR file). Example MANIFEST.MF | | Class-Path: jar1.jar jar2.jar | | Note the path itself is relative to the root of the archive. So, for instance assuming you had an EAR structure such as | EAR | -->lib | jar1.jar | jar2.jar | | Your MANIFEST.MF should look as follows: | | Class-Path: lib/jar1.jar lib/jar2.jar | | Again, an entry like the one above should be placed in the MANIFEST.MF file of *each* J2EE module deployed inside your EAR file.
