I think the closest you are going to get is:

myEar.ear
 hibernateStartup.sar
   META-INF/
            jboss-service.xml
   eg/
      package/
             MyClass.hbm.xml

 myHibernateClasses.jar
   eg/
      package/
             MyClass.class

The Jboss Hibernate MBean needs to be able to find the hbm.xml files
specified in the MapResources attribute in the MBean descriptor on the
classpath of the SAR.
