PQ66653: ASSEMBLING APPS DOC NOT CLEAR ON PACKAGING WEB APP THAT USES EJBS

APAR status
Closed as unreproducible.

Error description
Customer has two separate applications, a servlet packaged
as a webapp and an ejb.  The servlet invokes the ejb.  He
packaged the ejb client jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory
based on comments in the J2EE Assembling Apps document:
"WEB-INF/lib, the directory within the WAR module that contains
jar files that provided classes used by the servlet packaged
in the WAR file.  There are two packaging options.
1. Package the web app and the ejb in the same ear file.
2. Place the ejb client jar in the root of the application
(EAR file) that contains the web app.
This is not obvious based on the documentation.  The customer
ran accross classcast exceptions with it packaged the way
he had it when both the web app and ear were deployed on the
same server.
He asked that the documentation be made more explicit on how
to handle this situation.
