I too am having the same issue. I have several service classes/jJARs that are shared among multiple disparate WARs. I don't want to make them remote EJB services since that will be a performance penalty - and I don't want to bundle copies of them into each WAR (there are many WARs). I'd like to make the classes/JARs available at the server level WITHOUT using the system or server classpath. Basically, I'd like the ability to deploy an UPDATED set of the services dynamically and have those changes be visible to the WARs. Is that possible? I tried registering my JARs as a JBI component (I'm a bit new to that) but the WARs could not see the classes.
