Java .war deployment issues on jboss-as-7.1.1.Final

I am working on a dynamic web project (StudentManagement.war) which relies on an EJB (StudentManagementEJB.jar) for database interfacing. The EJB project has been added to the web project's class path. On deployment, however, the following exceptions are thrown:

22:23:21,275 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-4) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."StudentManagement.war".POST_MODULE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."StudentManagement.war".POST_MODULE: Failed to process phase POST_MODULE of deployment "StudentManagement.war"

This shows that the web module cannot find classes defined within the bean. I've changed my default: %JBOSS_HOME%\standalone\deployments\StudentManagement.war\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF to:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path:  file:/C:/Utils/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/standalone/deployments/StudentManagementEJB.jar

In spite of this the exception persists. There are two spaces between Class-Path: and the URI and a space after the end of the URI(../standalone) followed by a new line character.

Is there something wrong in my syntax?
I am using java ee 7, jboss-as-7.1.1.Final and Win 7 x64.

It turns out that the StudentManagementEJB.jar file is not copied into the /lib directory upon deployment. Aside from adding it to the Class-Path, it must also be copied to

%JBOSS_HOME%\standalone\deployments\<ProjectName>.war\WEB-INF\lib

directory(if the project is deployed as .war). In this case ProjectName is StudentManagement.

Do not reference to the deployments-folder (standalone/deployments). The deployed applications are not really deployed there, but copied from there to the data-directory, or they are not even in the deployments-folder, if you use other forms of deployment, e.g. jboss-cli.bat

There are some ways you can solve this.

1) Don't package the EJB separately, but include it into the WAR (the easiest).

2) Create an EAR and package the WAR and EJB-JAR together into the EAR (the classic).

3) Create a module from the interface-classes and reference from EJB.jar and WAR to the module. See e.g. "Dependencies:" in https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/Class+Loading+in+AS7

4) Reference in the WARs MANIFEST to the EJB-deployment like: 

Dependencies:deployment.StudentManagementEJB.jar

From https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/Class+Loading+in+AS7:

Module names for top level deployments follow the format deployment.myarchive.war while sub deployments are named like deployment.myear.ear.mywar.war.

This means that it is possible for a deployment to import classes from another deployment using the other deployments module name, the details of how to add an explicit module dependency are explained below.
