migrating existing ejb

[weipingy]

we have quite a few ejb with websphere. Any way to automatically add xDoclet annotation to ejb files before generating jboss deployment files using xDoclet? It seems quit an effort to add the annontations manually, any automation or crude annontation would be helpful.

if you already have them with websphere why do you *need* to do it with xdoclet ?

(and no, I don't know of a tool to convert existing ejbs into xdoclet annotated ones)

[weipingy]

I would like to use xDoclet to generate jboss deployment descriptors for both existing and new ejb deployment.

then you will have to do it manually or try and explore Xdoclet to see if they don't have an option to include existing beans into a descriptor so you only have to write annotations for new ones.
