suggestion needed

[mtuckah]

Hello,

here's the situation: i've got a fairly elaborate app written for jboss 3.2.2RC2. it's almost done but i've been given the task of adding a new feature which will synchronous much of the data with an external accounting software package.

for example, a user creates a new payment in jboss. i need a component that will be aware of the modification and send the PaymentBean off to be synchronised with the accounting software.

I don't need help with the synchronization portion, that's all set. I need someone to suggest the best way of "listening" for entity bean modifications. Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated. Deadline fast approaching.

My first idea would be to wrap all entity bean access behind session beans.

The session bean could then put a message on a JMS Queue to say a change has occured.

A message driven bean could then execute your synchronisation logic when it receives the message.

well, the problem is that it's a fairly large system and to wrap all the entity beans in session beans would be a fairly large project.

i was hoping that there would be a way to do this that would not involve rewriting a lot of code.

Just yesterday, I noticed on xdoclet's site that there's a tag for Entity beans that will automatically wrap them in a session bean. Can't remember the name though....that might reduce some of your work...
