Which JBoss 5.1 libraries I need for a standalone EJB client?

Hi,

I'm migrating from JBossAS 4.05 to JBoss 5.1, and I have doubt about wich libraries I need to change in my EJB standalone clients.

From JBossAS 4.0.5, I have a straight list of libraries that I need to deploy within all clients. But, in 5.1 version, some libraries was changed or supressed.

Anybody have a straight list just for access remote EJB services?

Thanks in advance,

And

As per ... http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/docs/Installation_And_Getting_Started_Guide/5/html/ch01.html#d0e525

1.5.3. jbossall-client.jar The client/jbossall-client.jar library that used to bundle the majority of jboss client libraries, is now referencing them instead through the Class-Path manifest entry. This allows swapping included libraries (e.g. jboss-javaee.jar) without having to re-package jbossall-client.jar. On the other hand, it requires that you have jbossall-client.jar together with the other client/*.jar libraries, so they can be found.

Look at this post for a solution to:

The newer versions of JBoss (I'm using 5.1.0 GA) very annoyingly have all the client jars split into at least 47 separate jars! Which is a bit rude when you consider the total number of jars they expect you to copy into your tomcat/lib dir is a whopping 93.

In the standalone OS, I not want to add any dependency with a JBoss instance. I want just libraries embedded within my standalone client. The file jbossall-client.jar, in recent versions, was reduced and contains just basic classes, excluding serialization, remote and other necessary classes.Thanks,And

Ok. But, if I put all jboss* files in one, we are back to 4.* and weblogic.jar libraries model, with more then 30MB under one jar file. My expectations are a clean deployable application file, with a straight as possible classpath.I'm trying to add/remove *.jar files from classpath ... sometime, the path will work. I'll publish the results here ...Thanks,And

I did find a solution, by Felipe Cintra, in the following post:

He enumerates files necessary to work with a standalone EJB client.

Thanks,

Andre
