Hi,

I'd like to specify the composite in switchyard.xml for the whole EAR ... the JARs would be located in lib folder. Is it supposed to work? Because I got following exception in deployment time. (It doesn't matter what content (even empty switchyard element) the switchyard.xml contains - still the same exception)

I think there could be some practical use cases to have switchyard.xml in EAR but ... to be honest, I just want to exploit it to have particular components in JARs and have different EARs with various bindings, transformations, validations .... I know that it's not so SOA but the purpose would be just testing of the bindings, transformations, validations .... on the same components.

Thank you
