Issue

• There is an EAR application with EJB and hibernate entity classes with additional library of hibernate entity classes "entityJPA.jar".

• The problem is to tell the additional library classes, where their data source is.

• Following is directory structure of that application.

------- EAR structure -------
testProject.ear
|
|- META-INF
|   |- application.xml
|   |- jboss-deployment.structure.xml
|
|- testProjectJPA.jar
|   |
|   |- persistence.xml
|
|- lib
|   |
|   |- entityJPA.jar
------------------------------------

• JBoss scans the JPA jar for the persistence.xml and recognizes the "testProjectJPA.jar" as JPA jar and handles the persistence unit.

• Is it possible to add the "entityJPA.jar" with the <jar-file> tag within the persistence.xml, so that the entityJPA.jar classes are within the class path and can use the data source of the "testProjectJPA.jar"?
