Instead of creating a .spring archive, I am looking in to using the APPNAME-spring.xml file for spring deployment. My current setup is like this app.ear |_ app.ejb (contains ejb3 and all java classes) |_app-web.war (web application) If I want my spring code inside app-ejb.jar to be deployed by the spring deployer, should I place my app-spring.xml inside 1) app.ear/app-spring.xml OR 2) app-ear/app.ejb/app-spring.xml OR 3) app-ear/app.ejb/META-INF/app-spring.xml ? Also do I have to add anything to app.ear/META-INF/application.xml or app.ear/app.ejb/META-INF/ejb-jar.xml ? Or will spring deployer will auto detect any -spring.xml file inside of a .ear or ejb-jar (app.ejb) ? thanks guys View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4037137#...
