Hi, Thanks for your help. I managed to get the application working with your suggestions. The specification is indeed ambiguous. Other than an example stating that the app-client should not have access to EJB jar files, I haven't found anything explicit on this (not even in Sectino 8.2). Do you of more explicit rules set out by the spec that prevent app-clients to have access to EJB jar files? I'm interested in this, as I'm doing research on the conformance of EJB application servers to a set of requirements listed in the EJB specification.

The client applications should not have access to ejb jar files in the ear file, I would suggest to use a common jar file, and share that for ejb and client application. You may refer to Java EE 6 Spec, EE 8.3.3 Hope it helps. 2013/7/15 Putter, S.M.J. de <s.m.j.d.put...@student.tue.nl<mailto:s.m.j.d.put...@student.tue.nl>> Dear all, I get a DeploymentException when trying to deploy an ear file. The ear file is setup as follows: - META-INF/MANIFEST.MF - BI3_Remote-client.jar - BI3_Remote-ejb.jar For brevity, I will refer to BI3_Remote-client.jar as client.jar and to BI3_Remote-ejb.jar as ejb.jar. Client.jar refers to ejb.jar via its manifest through ClassPath. Ejb.jar has a bean implementing the BI3_RemoteInterface remote business interface. A simple method of the BI3_RemoteInterface is invoked by the main class of client.jar. I get the following error, indicating failure to deploy due to a problem with BI3_RemoteInterface: 2013-07-15 16:31:28,058 ERROR [DeployTool] Error: org.apache.geronimo.common.DeploymentException: Unable to deploy BI3_Remote-ear.ear: Could not fully load class: lqs.ejb.spec.counterexample.BI3_Remote_client due to:Llqs/ejb/spec/counterexample/BI3_RemoteInterface; in classLoader: GeronimoClassLoader[default.BI3_Remote-ear_BI3_Remote-client.jar-DEPLOYMENT_0.0. 0.1373898687178 [443]] at org.apache.geronimo.deployment.cli.CommandDeploy.runCommand(CommandDeploy.java:43) at org.apache.geronimo.deployment.cli.CommandDistribute.executeOnline(CommandDistribute.java:148) at org.apache.geronimo.deployment.cli.CommandDistribute.execute(CommandDistribute.java:124) at org.apache.geronimo.deployment.cli.DeployTool.execute(DeployTool.java:171) at org.apache.geronimo.system.main.MainBridge.execute(MainBridge.java:64) at org.apache.geronimo.main.Bootstrapper.start(Bootstrapper.java:88) at org.apache.geronimo.main.Bootstrapper.execute(Bootstrapper.java:61) at org.apache.geronimo.cli.AbstractCLI.executeMain(AbstractCLI.java:65) at org.apache.geronimo.cli.deployer.DeployerCLI.main(DeployerCLI.java:32) I think somehow the ejb.jar does not get linked to the client.jar. But I cannot see why, as the ejb.jar is found through the manifest. Is there anything I’m missing? I cannot find any hints in the logs. The source code attached to this e-mail. Thanks in advance.
