Local references currently require ejb-link

[icordoba]

Hi there,
I am trying to deploy into JBoss 3.0.2 a ear file I have successfully tested in Pramati Server.
I am getting many errors about "Local references currently require ejb-link" ¿where do I have to put those ejb-link tags?
I can't find info about this.

A part from this, I don't want to use Jaws as persistence engine, but Postgres (the same I am using with pramati) but I am not sure that in the commercial documentation I have a good doc on this. I just need to configure a "data source" to the Postgres data base and map the EJB fields and relations. For Pramati server all this is done with 2 files: pramati-j2ee-server.xml and pramati-or-mapping.xml
I guess the rest of the project files (web.xml and ejb-jar.xml are the same for any EJB container, right?)
Which are the equivalent for JBoss and where I can find documentation on how to map the EJB properties and relations to the database? (I use CMP 2.0, of course).

Thanks for any help.

It seems that you have a reference between two beans and you must have <ejb-link> tag in your reference mapping. Here is an example of a reference mapping (ejb-jar.xml):

<ejb-local-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>Data</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
<local-home>BeanLocalHome</local-home>
BeanLocal
<ejb-link>Bean</ejb-link></ejb-local-ref>

Regards.

Thanks a lot for your reply tdang,
do you (anybody) know if this ejb-link tag in ejb-jar.xml is something special for jboss or standard in the J2EE specs?
I've checked that my J2EE IDE (Pramati Studio) generates ejb-jar files without that tag.

Thanks,
Ignacio

it specifies which bean class is to be referenced, it is not enough to have only its (local) home and remote/local interface.

Hope it helps.

ejb-link is part of the ejb-jar.dtd
