Generating A CRUD application from EJB3 entities

[phicorp]

Hello All,

I am trying to generate a CRUD application using annotated EJB3 entities as my starting point.

When I run the generator in the JBoss Eclipse IDE, I do not get any errors, but the generated application consists of a single html page only which has no links to any application functions.

Has anyone successfully generated a CRUD application using annotated EJB3 entities and the JBoss Eclipse IDE, or do I need to use Ant and an annotation based Hibernate configuration ()?

Many thanks,
Bruce.

have you listed all the classes in the hibernate.cfg.xml ? that is currently required.

Hello Max,

Could you provide more information please?

After reading your reply I added a number of [mapping class="..."/] elements to my hibernate.cfg.xml file and then reran the generator which displayed the following error message:

Exception while generating code
Reason:
org.hibernate.MappingException: An AnnotationConfiguration instance is required to use [mapping class="..."/]

I then looked up the tools documentation and created the following skeletal annotation configuration file:

[annotationconfiguration configurationfile="hibernate.cfg.xml"/]

However I have not been able to determine:
(1) What to call this file?
(2) Where to put it on my hard disk?
(3) How to reference it within the JBoss Eclipse IDE dialog boxes?

Many thanks,
Bruce.

double click the console configuration and enable the "use ejb3/annotations" checkbox.

On both occasions that have not worked, the "use ejb3/annotations" checkbox has been selected.

Hello All,
I have been unsuccessful in trying to generate a CRUD application from annotated EJB3 entities using the JBoss Eclipse IDE.
However I have been successful in generating the application using ant which allows the user to specify an annotationconfiguration to point to the hibernate.cfg.xml file containing class elements which specify the EJB3 entities to be used.
Many thanks,
Bruce.

Hi Bruce,

Just wondering if you could help me out with a few pointers on how to do this.
