well, yes. I should have used more J2EE vocabulary in order to make
it clear. Whenever referring to "ejb-jar", I really meant "EAR application"
- maybe confused
that because we are currently not using JSP,
but a thick and comfortable VB-GUI.

My argument wrt minimising redundancies would be addressed by this
technique.
The only really relevant argument remains ... performance and optimisation
argument, yes.

You made a long talk very very short (I bet I�ll get a nick like
CG"verbose"J on this list). You were an analyst in your previous life,
were�nt you ?
>Nevertheless, yes this is interesting :-)
puuh, interesting enough to extend the J2EEDeployer (undermine, undermine
...) ?
I think this would not violate the specs, would it?
