XDoclet doesn't generate ejb files

[petrus]

Hi
I use JBOSS3.2.1, XDoclet 1.1.2, eclipse 2.1.1.
I want to buid a very simple session EJB, but XDoclet will not generate the files (only the xml files, but with no ejb declared inside). the variables ant path are good, I tried many changes but it won't work.
Here are part of the sources :



ModelSessionBean.java (in directory ${src.ejb.home})
-------------------------------------------------------

package ejb;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;

import javax.ejb.SessionBean;
import javax.ejb.SessionContext;

/**
* @ejb.bean name="ModelSession"
* display-name="session bean facade"
* type="stateless"
* transaction-type="Container"
* jndi-name="ejb/ModelSession"
* view-type="remote"
*
* @ejb.home
* @ejb.interface
*/
public class ModelSessionBean implements SessionBean {

/**
* @ejb.interface-method view-type="remote"
* @ejb.transaction type="NotSupported"
*/

public boolean userExists(String UserName)
throws RemoteException {
System.out.println("USEREXIST");
return true;
}



private SessionContext _context;

public void ejbActivate() {
}

public void ejbPassivate() {
}

public void ejbRemove() {
}

public void setSessionContext(SessionContext ctx) {
_context = ctx;
}
}



part of build.xml
--------------------------------------------------------

You need to have


in the ejbdoclet tag to render Session EJB information.

I tried it but it doesn't work either. Moreover, if I declare an entity bean, no files are generated either.
thanks anyway.

It looks to me as if your bean is not being seen by XDoclet at all.

I think I can remember a while back specifying the type of the bean in lower case and getting an error saying the type was invalid. (Should have been 'Stateless')

I found the problem, and of course that was a stupid one : my fileset was bad.
but there is still something I don't understand.

${src.ejb.home} = /src/ejb
${src.home} = /src

my ModelSessionBean.java is in /src/ejb/

CASE 1 :
-----------





it works :)


CASE 2 :
------------





That doesn't work.


Why don't they describe the same files ?

Because ur package name is ejb and when u specify




it looks for a directory called ejb and a file called *Bean.java in it which it cannot find (as ur bean is in the ejb directory). If u wanted Xdoclet to use this, create a package called ejb under ur /src/ejb folder and place the file in there.
