Please see http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=115642 The reason that I am trying to do this is that I have about 50 SFSB that are used to manage entities. I generate these with a Groovy script. Out of these only 2-3 need to be customized beyond their default behavior. When I extend the components they function as expected, but both components are deployed by the EJB deployer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
