thanks cgriffith. but pls pardon my stubborn interrogation: "j2ee_junkie" wrote : Yes to all. A good answer. But still I wonder about the bit about combining the good ejb annotations with the ejb-jar.xml. Was I correct in assuming that I can use just a piece of ejb-jar.xml to make up for my refusal to put the JBoss specific SecurityDomain annotation in my ejbean? Now, all I wonder is what piece is that? Could you perhaps tell us that?
