EAR descriptor weblogic-application Example

Question

I have an EAR file containing EJBs packaged in a JAR as well as a startup class. Without the weblogic-application.xml file the EJB deploy fine, however as soon as I include the file in the EAR package my EJBs are no longer deployed. I want to use the weblogic-application.xml file to define a startup class, so the option of simply leaving this file out will not work for me.
Any suggestion what I have to configure in this file for the EJB's to be also deployed ?
Current weblogic-application.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<weblogic-application
xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90
http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90/weblogic-application.xsd">
    <
    <startup>
        <startup-class>com.thunderhead.weblogic.StartupService</startup-class> 
        <startup-uri>SimpleLIBS.jar</startup-uri> 
    </startup>   
</weblogic-application>Thanks in advance.

You should define the EJB module in you weblogic-application.xml, for example:
     <module>
     <ejb>your ejb name</ejb>
     </module>
or the deployer unable to find the EJB which you want to deploy.
Without weblogic-application.xml, the whole EAR will be scanned to generate depolyment view so that EJB can be deployed. With weblogic-application.xml, the deployer will only deploy the modules which are defined in weblogic-application.xml
