Hey all,
Due to my preference to package my model classes with other code, I was wondering if it's possible to 'tell' the archive it's dependent on another jar that contains the persistent classes?

I've tried just removing them from the har and placing them in another jar that's in the deploy directory, but no luck there, just gives errors stating it can't find the classes the mapping documents refer to.

Anyone have any suggesstions?

Is it possible to deploy the .har within your .ear? If that's the case, you can put your common jar file at the enterprise application level.

It is the same for referencing a library from a har as it is a sar or ejb jar. Stick it all in your ear...

EAR Layout
jboss-app.xml
HAR manifest

The important thing to note is that the classes must somehow be on the classpath when jboss deploys your har. This is handled automatically if the classes are part of the har (which is the suggested approach).

David's approach of adding a manifest classpath entry will also work.
