Yeah, that's my original case exactly... I've found [3] xsd:documentation for depends-on: > Each dependent bean is expressed using ejb-link syntax. which IMO would allow to use module-name as described in [2]. But with dependency configured with DD (still using only GF so far) with "module-name/bean-name" deployment fails the same (and works with file-name-with-extension#bean-name) as with @. If my understanding is correct, then it could just be a defect in GF to not support it. And there is also footnote 72 for beanName [4]: > The Bean Provider may also use this syntax in the beanName element of the EJB annotation. which I'm not sure I saw working for me either. I need to reread spec (which at this moment appears to me as not needing the update in that area), then split and clarify my expectations/tests. As of now I'm only getting more and more confused ;) 1. https://jakarta.ee/specifications/enterprise-beans/4.0/jakarta-enterprise-beans-spec-core-4.0#singleton-session-bean-initialization 2. https://jakarta.ee/specifications/enterprise-beans/4.0/jakarta-enterprise-beans-spec-core-4.0#a4057 3. https://jakarta.ee/specifications/enterprise-beans/4.0/jakarta-enterprise-beans-spec-core-4.0#a5910 4. https://jakarta.ee/specifications/enterprise-beans/4.0/jakarta-enterprise-beans-spec-core-4.0#_footnoteref_72 -- Piotrek
