Hi all, I am a new bie in JBoss world. I am trying to run a small application which prints current time . I am trying to do this work using EJB 2.0 and JSP. I created a jar file which is having EJB class files as well as ejb deployment descriptors, JBoss required DDs. (i.e., ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml) Then I made a jsp page which contains a JNDI call from that to access the EJB Home interface (normal EJB client call).With this I prepared a war file with all the required DD files (web.xml etc). Now I prepared a ear file with jar file and war file , application.xml file and trying to deploy the application in JBoss. Once it was deployed in the server (deploying properly with out throwing any error), and trying to call the jsp page from browser http://localhost:8080/test/firstEJB.jsp it is throwing error at the browser as ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- org.apache.jasper.JasperException: An exception occurred processing JSP page /firstEJB.jsp at line 14 11: props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:1099"); 12: 13: Context ctx = new InitialContext(props); 14: FirstHome home = (FirstHome)ctx.lookup("ejb/First"); 15: First bean = home.create(); 16: String time = bean.getTime(); 17: bean.remove(); Stacktrace: org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.handleJspException(JspServletWrapper.java:518) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:411) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:320) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:266) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) root cause javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraints violated when linking javax/ejb/Handle class org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.doHandlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:855) org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:784) org.apache.jsp.firstEJB_jsp._jspService(firstEJB_jsp.java:94) org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:70) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:387) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:320) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:266) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) root cause java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraints violated when linking javax/ejb/Handle class java.lang.Class.getDeclaredFields0(Native Method) java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredFields(Class.java:2232) java.lang.Class.getDeclaredField(Class.java:1852) java.io.ObjectStreamClass.getDeclaredSUID(ObjectStreamClass.java:1555) java.io.ObjectStreamClass.access$600(ObjectStreamClass.java:47) java.io.ObjectStreamClass$2.run(ObjectStreamClass.java:381) java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) java.io.ObjectStreamClass.(ObjectStreamClass.java:373) java.io.ObjectStreamClass.lookup(ObjectStreamClass.java:268) java.io.ObjectStreamClass.initProxy(ObjectStreamClass.java:464) java.io.ObjectInputStream.readProxyDesc(ObjectInputStream.java:1502) java.io.ObjectInputStream.readClassDesc(ObjectInputStream.java:1457) java.io.ObjectInputStream.readOrdinaryObject(ObjectInputStream.java:1693) java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject0(ObjectInputStream.java:1299) java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(ObjectInputStream.java:339) java.rmi.MarshalledObject.get(MarshalledObject.java:135) org.jnp.interfaces.MarshalledValuePair.get(MarshalledValuePair.java:72) org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:652) org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:587) javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:351) org.apache.jsp.firstEJB_jsp._jspService(firstEJB_jsp.java:68) org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:70) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:387) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:320) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:266) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- my EJBHOme is ------------------ package com.stardeveloper.ejb.session;

Then it is working fine , showing the page at the browser. Suppose if it is a very big application and I can't put that at war\WEB-INF\lib folder. This is not the way to put. SO any body please put some light on this...What I need to do to work with out putting my ejb jar file inside the war file.
