By the way, i have some general questions (which i cannot try out myself for other problems, see my other mail): - is it true, that an ear created with the j2ee deployment wizard should be able to be deployed on orion without modifications ? If not, which are these modifications (does this have to do with the application-client.xml ?) ? - may an ear contain more than one ejb-jars (like the j2ee allows) ? - are you planning some visual tools for deployment (like the j2ee deployment wizard e.g.) and/or administration of the server ? I know, the server itself isn't ready yet, but just to get some glance in the eyes..
