@Local Local cannot be resolved to a type.

[jfrankman]

Just trying to get started with EJB3. I am using an EJB3 tutorial found here: http://www.laliluna.de/download/first-ejb3-tutorial-en.pdf

I am trying to declare a Local interface using the @Local annotation. I am using Eclipse 3.1. I get the error:

"Local cannot be resolved to a type"

My interface is below:

package de.laliluna.library;
import javax.ejb.*;

@Local
public interface BookTestBeanLocal {
 @Id
 public void test();
}

Obviously I must be missing a jar or something, but I can't figure out what jar the @Local annotation is declared in. Any help would be appreciated.

It is in ./server/xxx/deploy/ejb3.deployer/jboss-ejb3x.jar

At least, that is where it is in the 4.0.4.GA release.

Thanks. After looking at my JBoss installation, it occurred to me it was a default installation, not a EJB3 installation. Once I added the jar to my project everything is fine. Thanks for your help.

I have a similar problem. I added the jboss-ejb3x.jar and still can't import javax.ejb.EJB (Eclipse says that "The import javax.ejb.EJB cannot be resolved"). Any ideas?

import javax.ejb.EJB;

public class LoginServlet extends HttpServlet {

 @EJB
 UserManager userManager;

What version of EJB3 are you running? Pre-RC8, I think the correct import is javax.annotation.EJB; the annotation class was moved for spec compliance.

Do you use Eclipse with the WebTools plugin ?

I modified the existing WTP 1.5 JBoss plugin to support the EJB3 annotations of RC8 and RC9.
