In this case, for what I understood from Pete's explanations, lib3 is going to be scanned for CDI stuff. But this shouldn't happen, so we would also need a way of differentiating lib3 from lib2. I'll stop my explanation here, as I think Pete can fill in the blanks and explain this much better :-)

Now I see. So, this is someting that is not currently implemented and that should be implemented, right?

I have a few questions:

- regarding jars in the lib of the server, they should never be treated as BDAs, right? (I know we discussed about this, but I'm so deep in so many details that now I got confused :-) )

- the Deployment.loadBeanDeploymentArchive(Class<?> beanClass) method should search only for the archives included in the deployment, or for all archives visible from the deployment? A small example to ilustrate my question:
   if there are two separate ejb-jars deployed, A and B, and I invoke loadBeanDeploymentArchive at the deployment that represents ejb-jar A, using a class that is in ejb-jar B as parameter, should the deployment be able to find it?

- what do I do if loadBeanDeploymentArchive fails to find any archive containing the class, should it return null? I'm assuming yes, but I would like to have an ok here, as the javadoc is not explicit about this

- this one is still about loadBeanDeploymentArchive method, and I think Ales knows the answer. Since the parameter of this method is a class, I don't need to look for an archive that contains a class with the same name. I could use instead the ClassLoader to determine the module and, hence, to find the corresponding archive. Should I do it this way?
