I am new to EJB.I want to know where should i specify the the path of third party jars like commons-logging.jar in the ejb-jar.xml used by my application.

Hi

you should specify the third party jars used in your application in the java build path of your application.
if you are using any IDE's like Eclipse,NetBeans then this process can be very easy.

This sort of stuff doesn't go in the deployment descriptor for your EJBs. The EJB spec. doesn't define where EAR classpath resources need to be placed. You should check your application server's documentation.

Thanks Vikram.
But i dont use any IDE. My requirement is to keep the jars specific to application and i dont want it to be visible to other applications.

More over i want the application to be deployable in any J2EE specific container.

I know for web- applications if we include the jars in the web-inf/lib folder the application the jars picks from there. Is there any similar way in the EJB applications.

Arjun.

AS Paul pointed out , its something vendor specific and specification doesn't say anything about this , nor it has any folder like lib as in case of web application.

As in case of OC4J you can put all your dependent libraries directly within the EAR file.

We mostly have the jars in the EAR under the App-inf/lib folder. And for war under the web-inf/lib folder.

Hope this answers your question
