i have an EJB that use a JavaBean. This JavaBean is used by a one servlet and various JSP. I don't know where must i put this JavaBean. If i put on the WEB-INF/Classes/<package name> folder the EJB can access to it.

If i put the JavaBean into the classpath in can't make hot-deploy of this JavaBean (If i make one change on the JavaBean i have to restart the Server).

so where must i put the JavaBean to share it between an Ejb and a servlets-jsps (war file)

Thank you.

My configuration is

Jboss 2.4.3
Catalina 4.0
win 2k

ups¡¡

maybe i don't expalint it well.

Here is a better explanation and pardo for my poor english.

I have a JavaBean and i use it in two servlet and in one EJB. I don't know where must i put this JavaBean class.

If i put in WEB-INF/classes the ejb can't access to the JavaBean but the servlet can.

If i put in the server classapth (SERVER_HOME/lib/ext, for example) servlets and EJB can access to the JavaBean but if i change the javaBean code and i recompile it, i have to restart the server. (no hot-deploy¡¡¡¡)

So what else can i do???

Is bad idea or bad design to use the same JavaBean in a servlet and in an EJB????

Thanks.

Maybe this post is not interesting for anybody, because is an easy or unsual but i still with it ;-)

The best thing that i suceed is to create a .jar archive with the classes that web aplication and an EJB share, and put this file into the WEB-INF/lib and in the .ear file. I also modify the EJB manifest file and add one line,

Class-path: /path_to_the_library.jar_on_the_ear/library.jar

This go fine, but i have two library.jar.

Any better way????
