Yes. The problem is that this is for a big application where, by design, we don't know what all the modules are for a given .ear file until deployment time. So we're going to rely on scanning, as I believe the specification implies we can. (If you return an empty set from both getClasses() and getSingletons() the classpath (there's the gray area) is scanned, as you know--the issue here is: is the classpath limited to the war file's lib and classes directories, or, instead, should it incorporate the ear/lib directory as well? As we've already discussed we both suspected that ear/lib should work; it doesn't.)

I didn't mean to push work on you; I just meant that you seem to already have a faint suspicion of where the problems lie. It's not a big deal; I can submit bugs and you can correct/edit them where I've made mistakes. I am currently planning on filing them against the webservices component, although I don't see your name on the CC list so that may not be the right component.

Need the .ear file because of a resource adapter among other reasons.
