I'd guess that the problem with the wsdl generation might be due to
it's not understanding the geronimo dependencies, but I don't really
know how it works, maybe Jarek can give some hints.
I'd recommend the dependency solution if it can possibly be made to
work, but if it can't, you don't need a fake <ejb> module, you can
just put your jar in the ear as lib/interfaces.jar and it will be
picked up -- a javaee 5 feature that is really handy :-)
