Well, as I outlined before, I have a little different way of doing
things. Here's what I do:
I have EJB's in a JAR.
I have JavaBeans in a WAR (in /WEB-INF/classes) along with JSP's.
I have EJB interfaces in client JAR.
All three are in an EAR file, which gets deployed.
ALong with this I have a Model-2 pull HMVC framework
(sourceforge.net/projects/webwork) that instantiate and execute the
JavaBeans. The JavaBeans access the EJB's, and this works well since
they are loaded by a classloader that has access to the client jar. Then
I use JSP's with a taglib (included in above mentioned WebWork) to
extract the results and present them as HTML. No Java code whatsoever in
the JSP's.
So, with this the setup is very clean, and it just works.
BTW, I have another application (the WebWork examples) that are deployed
only as a WAR file, and that works too.

Yes.

The autodeployer finds it, sends it to the J2EE deployer, which deploys
it. Browser refesh, and there you go. Standard JBoss install, using the
EmbeddedTomcat service.

Well.. "works for me"... not sure what's going wrong for you.
