Whilst AIM-9 & ASRAAM are rail-only mounted weapons that do not have a jettison capability, AMRAAM and AIM-9/ Sparrow/ Skyflash/ Phoenix have both rail and ejector carriage capability.

F4, F3, Sea Harrier, Typhoon, F-14, F-15 (and more) all have (had) the capability to carry their longer range AA missiles on ejector mounted stations. I know for certain that Sea Harrier had an AMRAAM jettison capability when carried on the fuselage gun-pod ejector stations, so assuming all the other 'ejector' mounted platforms did too.
