Embed EJB3 into my own application (try and errors)

[marcelruff]

Hi,

i'm clicking/trying since several days to create some
few EJB3 beans.
I would like to have them as plain JDK 1.5 Java beans with some annotations to persist them with hibernate to postgres without any dependency on microkernels and such.

I would expect to use some few *.jar files for the annotations, hibernate and postgres JDBC and throw them into my application to easily access the DB.

I think i have followed all wikis, tutorials around but i
always get stuck (jboss-EJB-3.0_Embeddable_ALPHA_5.zip,
jboss-EJB-3.0_RC9_Patch_1.zip).

With the ejb3-project-backup.zip and a lot of copying i got a bit further, but running the TestNGDummyTest i get:

"Cannot find embedded-ejb3-project-ds-beans.xml"

What is a proper/easy way to get started,
is it a naive approach i follow or the wrong tools?

Thanks for some psychological assistance,

Marcel

Ok,
the solution is simple if known.

Using the jboss packages is the wrong approach,
using hibernate jpa/ejb3 demo from http://www.hibernate.org/
works out-of-the-box.

Download the Hibernate Annotations and EntityManager "Hello World" package from
http://hibernate.org/152.html

This works 'standalone' (J2SE) and is simple enough to run
quickly,
