That's not how .ear are packaged. The ejb-jar.xml should reside in the .jar/META-INF folder of the EJB jar (I guess your ejb3.jar). And then the .ear may (optionally) contain a META-INF/application.xml. So the .ear would look something like: .ear | |--- META-INF |          | |          |--- application.xml |     |--- ejb3.jar |     | |     |--- META-INF |     |          | |     |          |--- ejb-jar.xml |     |          |--- persistence.xml |     | |     |--- [the classes go here] -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/543025#543025] Start a new discussion in JNDI and Naming at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
