JOnAS loads EJBs using the system class loader. This means that if you have embedded the JOnAS container in an app which uses it's own class loader, JOnAS will ignore this loader. JOnAS instead should be using the context classloader of the current thread.
Also, it seems that JOnAS is ignoring classpath information in the manifest file of the jar? If you have dependancies on other jar files and put them into the jar file, it will deploy the jar correctly but will fail with ClassNotFoundException when a method is executed.
Thanks,
