RE: Sharing code between web-app and ejbs

[Mike Cannon-Brookes]

If you just put all your classes in the EJB-JAR file, they can be 'seen' from the WAR (no need to worry about the classes dir)   That's the way I do it. Probably not the best way, but it works.   Mike    -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of August Linnman Sent: Thursday, 10 August 2000 9:37 To: Orion-Interest Cc: Robin Rosenberg Subject: Sharing code between web-app and ejbs Hello everyone!   This is maybe not orion-specific (off-topic) but may be relevant anyway.   How can you in a manageable way include "library" code, i e common code in an EAR which should be accessible from both the WAR and the EJB-JAR, and also preferably be put in the same EAR. The only way I can think of now is to duplicate code between the EJB-JAR part and the WEB-INF/classes directory, which is not a very nice solution.   Another way would be to link the external code through another JAR-file, and tie together using a Manifest, but I cannot resolve exactly which Manifest should be used (the EAR or the JAR?) and how this should be done. I have read the Sun specs about the Jar-manifest format but either they are very unclear, or I have not found the right information.   Any clarity in this matter would be greatly appreciated.   /August
