I am new to ejb's/JBoss etc so I have been playing with some tools to help create a entity bean(s).
The first one I tried is nbjboss which is a plugin for eclipse. This is supposed to be able to create a CMP2.0 entity bean and help deploy it, but for some reason I always get
1:17:37,313 INFO [MainDeployer] Starting deployment of package: file:/opt/jboss-3.2.3/server/all/deploy/employ.jar 11:17:38,007 WARN [verifier] EJB spec violation: Bean : Employee Method : public Short ejbCreate(short, String, String, String, Date, String, String, short, String, BigDecimal, String) throws CreateException Section: 10.6.4 Warning: The return type of an ejbCreate(...) method must be the entity bean's primary key type.
Try this:

It demonstrates all the J2EE components using free tools like JBoss, Eclipse and Lomboz.
