EJB deployment descriptor

Question

Hi
I have jusr started with the EJB. I am using JBoss Server.
I have a session bean and a MessageDrivenBean in the same package. Do I mention both of them in the same ejb-jar.xml file place inside the META-INF directory as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN' 'http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd'>
<ejb-jar>
<display-name>AccountManager6JAR</display-name>
<enterprise-beans>
<session>
</session>
<message-driven>
</message-driven>
</enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>
I addition to the above I also have the jboss.xml file in META-INF directory as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jboss>
<enterprise-beans>
<message-driven>
<res-ref-name>.....</res-ref-name>
<configuration-name>.....</configuration-name>
<jndi-name>.....</jndi-name>
</message-driven>
</enterprise-beans>
</jboss>
do I need to add an entry of the my message driven bean in the ejb-jar.xml file or having the jboss.xml file is sufficient??
Many thanks for the help!!

Well, the xml file for JBoss is specific to JBoss. Therefore you should refer to JBoss documentation for that. However, what I suggest is that you make a EAR file out of your jars and then deploy it. That should solve the problem, as EAR file is a standard.
