A participant expected that an EJB module that is used as a library would be automatically deployed when he runs the web application. The facilitator explain he had to deploy the EJB module separately. Because of this problem: 1 participant didn't complete Task 2
If the user expected the ejb to deploy when the web module was deployed, this bug probably needs to be "on" web. The ejb project cannot magically know that it needs to deploy. Somebody has to tell it.
I think this is a minor usability problem (thus based on http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/bug_priority_guidelines.html it is a P4). The participant failed mainly bcs of selecting EJB module project, a typical use case would be to use EAR project. Automatic deployment of ejb module with web module could be implemented but I do not see it as a priority for 4.1. Jano, John, Geertjan, please let me know if you disagree and really want this in 4.1.
As stated above, if someone wants to deploy EJB together with WAR archive, s/he should use EAR archive. This is standard way how it should be done. Any magic that IDE may do to find out dependency between EJB and WAR is non-standard and controversial. Closing as WONTFIX.
