I have the following jars that I want to include on the classpath of my EAR:

• jaxb-api.jar
• jaxb-impl.jar
• jsr172_1.0_api.jar
• log4j-1.2.15.jar
• spring.jar

For my Spring/JAXB/Log4J solution. I tried to look into the deployment descriptors to place prebuilt ears but I could not find it.

My solution was to open the MANIFEST.MF file inside the EJB project. You can add jars through the text editor.

My example:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: LoggingUtility.jar
spring.jar
jaxb-api.jar
jaxb-impl.jar
log4j-1.2.15.jar
jsr173_1.0_api.jar

Deploys and runs on WebSphere Application Server with no problem.
