I have an EJB that depends on my Web project but for some reason when I deploy, none of the Web classes make it to the EJB project. Of course, this then causes the EJB not to work.

Can I do this in MyEclipse?

We don’t currently support this relationship of EJB->Web, what you will need to do is create an enterprise application that has the EJB and web projects as modules and then deploy that.

That’s what I did, but it doesn’t copy the Web projects classes to the EJBs classes folder when it deploys.

The classes won’t be jumbled together like that, the app server will handle the proper class loader hierachy for your entire EAR so your web app can load and use your EJB’s without them existing under the same physical folder.

It doesn’t. 🙂

I’m using weblogic 8.1. Is there something I need to tell it?

[Sean Ferguson]

I figured it out. 🙂 I had to add the web projects classpath tot he MANIFEST.MF for the ejb.

Good catch and thank you for posting your solution, it helps oethers in the same boat.

Better solution: put the common parts (the ones in the Web module) that you want to use in the EJB in a plain java module. The java module can then be put in the root of the EAR, just like the EJB and Web (pointed out by a <java>mymodule.jar</java> tag)
