someone just reported a problem with some required classes being in  
one of the app client jars and no longer being accessible to the  
server.  I caused this recently :-) by making the app client deployer  
copy the files into the app client's configuration rather than the  
ear configuration.  This makes the app client config independent of  
the ear config so it should be possible to deploy it without the ear  
config present.

I'm not quite sure what the best solution is....nor am I sure that  
having an app client as a manifest dependency of a server side  
component is spec compliant.

I think we could either:

(1) if the app client is specified as a manifest cp entry, copy it  
into the ear config but just as a jar, so there would be 2 copies,  
one in the ear and one in the app client

(2) in this case make the app client config a parent of the ear config

At the moment (1) sounds more reliable to me.

thanks
