always deploy EJBs "manually". jBoss is easier to write deployment descriptors,
yes. otherwise there's not much
difference.
Why on earth would you do manual deploys? ANT is
sexy! We do a ANT build that automatically deploys a new EAR through
jBoss. In 90 seconds I can have a complete new build running
with no manual intervention other than to invoke ANT. That includes
over 300 Java files in the EJB source (including data
classes) and another 120 or so on the application side. Having jBoss hot
deploy your EJB's and your application is one of those things that makes
incremental development a
reality...
