It seems the bug is present in 2.0.4. I'm currently using JBoss-3.0.1-native-2.0.4 and JBoss AS 4.2.2 and the bug is still there. File name: Teste.ejb3 File Content: '--br/com/company/clazz.class '--META-INF '--ejb-jar.xml '--jboss.xml ejb.jar.xml ------------- <...> <display-name>TesteEJB</display-name> </...> jboss.xml ----------- <...> <context-root>/TesteEJB-WS</context-root> </...> The context-root when deployed: '/Teste.' If I changed the extension to 'jar' the context-path goes like: '/Teste' (without the dot '.') In either way the jboss.xml is NOT read. Hope hearing from you shortly.
