Cant get xdoclet to include create or getter method in inter

[sunofra]

I hate to ask this here but I'm getting desperate...

No matter what I do I cant get Xdoclet to include my create method for my CMP test bean. Nor will it include any of the getter or setter methods. I must be doing something utterly stupid.

Please feel free to point out my stupidity...
Thanks


package com.test;

import javax.ejb.EntityBean;
import javax.ejb.EntityContext;

Can you also post an extract from your build.xml showing where XDcolet is invoked.

My pleasure. Here is the target which builds the "generated source" ... i.e., the remote, remotehome, local, and localhome interfaces.

<target name="gensource">
<delete dir="${gensrc}" />
<mkdir dir="${gensrc}" />
<tstamp>
<format property="TODAY" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd" />
</tstamp>

<ejbdoclet
destdir="${gensrc}"
addedtags="@xdoclet-generated at ${TODAY}"
ejbspec="2.0" >

<fileset dir="${src}">
<include name="**/*Bean.java"/>
</fileset>

<remoteinterface/>
<homeinterface />
<localinterface/>
<localhomeinterface/>
</ejbdoclet>
</target>


Whats killing me is that the interface classes are generated, but they are "empty". They dont contain the create method, nor the getter/setter methods. Furthermore, I have a Stateless Session bean right along side this class for which xdoclet generates everything correctly. Again, I must be doing something really dumb. Its very likely as I am new to j2ee programming.

Thank You so much for taking a look at this.

Hmmmmm. Im not sure my tags came out looking like that but hopefully you can still see that clearly. :-(

A HA!
I figured it out ... and as I suspected, I'm an idiot.
If you notice the comments like this ...
/*
* @ejb.interface-method
*/

where they should be like this ...

/**
* @ejb.interface-method
*/


The difference is one little asterisk was missing!
