Cannot add home method in BMP entity bean

[woeye]

Hi!

I have the following home interface:

public interface ContentEBHome extends EJBHome
{
...
public boolean checkName(...) throws RemoteException;
}

and I have the following implementation:

public class ContentEBImpl implements EntityBean
{
...
public boolean ejbCheckName(...)
{...}
}

Now if I try to deploy my ejb jar file I always get the following
error:

Each method defined in the entity bean's home interface must be either create or finder method.

"Must be either create or finder method"? Errrm, and what about home methods? Perhaps a problem with the verifier?

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help in advance,
Lars

Support for additional methods on the Home interface (method names not beginning with create, find, remove) was added in EJB 2.0.

Sounds as though it may not have found its way into JBoss 3.2.2.

Can anybody from JBoss make an informed response ?

And, on second thoughts, what version of JBoss are you using ?

Maybe the problem is that JBoss have added support, but not in the version that you are using.
