David, thanks for your answer. Actually the background for the ejb-jar.xml definition is as follows: I´ve got a common project, that is used together with some other projects within different persistence-units. Therefore the EntityManager is not bound to a specific persistenceUnit, but the annotation is simply left empty. During the deployment (in my case in the ear, which is deployed to a JBoss AS) the binding of this specific EntityManager to a specific persistenceUnit is done. During my tests with openEJB I run into the problem, that I have multiple persistence.xml on my classpath and therefore the EntityManager has to be bound to a specific persistenceUnit as well. Unfortunately I cannot bind it through your recommondation using the alternate DD, as the persistenceUnit changes with whatever project uses this common library and the EntityManager should join the project´s persistenceUnit.
Do you understand, what I mean? @Jean-Louis: No - I have not tried it yet - this might be an idea. I´ll let you know as soon as I tested it.

Hmm. The ejb-jar.xml has to be in the module. I suspect that you have it outside the module because you don't want that particular ejb- jar.xml data to be picked up at runtime by the production ejb container. If that's the case, some of the code we have in trunk might help. There was a post about it a couple weeks ago. I've taken that email and cleaned it up for you: http://cwiki.apache.org/OPENEJBx30/alternate-descriptors.html If you use maven, there are 3.1.1 snapshots available here: http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/openejb/ If you want an openejb.zip file I'd be happy to build one for you. -David
