I am sure there is no problem with application.xml. You can go ahead with my application.xml when you have your EJB and WAR are in outside of jboss server. I have tried this approach with EJB 2 with exploded EAR format it worked. I am new to EJB3 and it uses lots of annotations. I am still suspect about did i miss any configuration or jars.
