Workshop 10.1 - EJB 2.1 and Hibernate

Question

In Workshop 10.1, we're trying to call Hibernate 3.2 from an EJB 2.1 session bean. At the same time, we would like to use the Hibernate tooling provided by Workshop 10.1 - the Hibernate mapping generation and the HQL testing, specifically.
Our understanding is that we can get the Hibernate tooling only by including the Hibernate facet. However, we can only include the Hibernate facet in two kinds of project : the Dynamic Web project and the Web Services project.
Therefore we''ve created our Hibernate code inside a Dynamic Web project and included that project in an EAR with our EJB. By manually altering the EJB MANIFEST file so that it refers to the Web project WAR, we can get the entire EAR project to compile and deploy to a WebLogic 10 server.
However, when we try to execute the EJB method that calls the Web project code, the EJB throws a RemoteException, with the root cause being a NoClassDefFoundError - the EJB cannot find classes in the Web project at runtime.
Does anyone know a way to do this in Workshop 10.1? It seems like this would be a pretty standard JEE development approach, so I think there is probably a way to do this.
Thanks!!!

I am not using JDeveloper, the project was created in Netbeans 5.5. I only use the WAR created and Deploy it using the web administration of Oracle 10.1.3.2
