Non ejb jars referenced from an ejb jar in an ear via META-INF/MANIFEST.MF have no visiblity to javax.* classes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AS7-2442
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2442
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: EJB
    Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Alpha1, 7.0.2.Final
         Environment: Windows 7 64 bit,  Sun/Oracle 32 bit JDK 1.6.0_27-b07,  Intel Core 2 Quad
            Reporter: Rodney Kite
            Assignee: Carlo de Wolf
             Fix For: No Release


When an ejb jar file in an ear references a standard jar file from an MANIFEST.MF entry the standard jar file has no access to javax.* class.  This results in a run time exception "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/naming/InitialContext" when constructing a javax.naming.InitialContext or other javax.* class in the standard jar.  Referencing jars through a MANIFEST.MF is defined in the JBOSS AS 7 Documentation as proper for portability.  Using <ejb>/lib for the jar works but restricts access to the jar as a deployment module.
