EJB web service development in JBoss-IDE 1.5 via xdoclet?

[chuck.fowler]

Hi,

I have been trying to build a EJB-based web service using JBoss-IDE 1.5 that I want to deploy to JBoss 4.03 SP1. Unfortunately, I am having trouble adding the needed XDoclet tags. Specifically, I can't add the ejbdoclet nested element "service-endpoint" via the XDoclet configurations dialog (I think I need this to generation the service-endpoint-class element in the ejb-jar.xml file). I believe JBoss-IDE is using the latest version of XDoclet (1.2.3, I believe). I am trying to adapt the JBoss IDE tutorial where one builds a Fibonacci sequence generation EJB to expose it as an EJB.

Thanks for your help!

Have you tried implementing a *merge point* in ant ? Perhaps you can circumvent the problem by forcing ant to insert the correct nested xml nodes for you :

e.g. in your build.xml file define a merge point :

:
:

:
:

then in the merge directory, define a "session-beans.xml" merge file:


<![CDATA[descriptor for ... ]]>

<ejb-name>myEJBcomponent</ejb-name>
<service-endpoint>
com.xyz.DeviceControllerInterface
</service-endpoint>
<ejb-class>
com.xyz.DeviceControllerJSEBean
</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>



Hope this helps.

sorry, the merge point code was left blank in translation. should have read:

:
:
< ejbdoclet destDir="${generate.dir}" ejbspec="2.1" mergedir="mergepnt/ejb">
