EJB 3.0 Project with 2.x entity beans

[marcanthony]

Hi to everyone, I have a quick question I hope someone can help me with, I have an EJB 3.0 project with 3.0 session beans and would like to deploy a few 2.x entity beans in the same project, is that possible?

I am running jboss 4.2.1

thanks

Marc

Yes, that's possible.

Hi jaikiran, thank you for the reply, I have tried to achieve the mentioned above but without success, the ejb 3 beans deploy whilst the entity beans do not, or better if they are deployed i cannot find them in the context

<ejb-jar version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd">

  <display-name>OMS Server</display-name>

    <enterprise-beans>

        <entity>

            <ejb-name>pkStoreEjb</ejb-name>

            <local-home>server.bean.local.PkStoreLocalHome</local-home>

            <local>server.bean.local.PkStoreLocal</local>

            <ejb-class>server.bean.service.entity.PkStoreBean</ejb-class>

this is a chunk of the ejb-jar

and this is from the jboss.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE jboss PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS 4.0//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_4_0.dtd">

        <entity>

            <ejb-name>pkStoreEjb</ejb-name>

            <local-jndi-name>entity/local/pkStore</local-jndi-name>

           </entity>

I have tried using the xml configuration only (ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml) for both the 3.0 session beans and the 2.0 entity beans but nothing , I also tried deploying the session beans with annotations and removing them from the xml configs but nothing

Hi Marc,

I have the same problem packaging EJB3 sessions beans with EJB2 entity beans

did you change anything in ejb-jar.xml file for EJB2 entity beans? what are the other things did you change in ejb-jar and jboss.xml file.

Thanks,
Raj

Hi Raj

In the end I did a workaround. I created an empty ejb 2.0 project with all the ejb 2.0 related descriptors in it and added to the EAR, works nicely now

thanks

Marc
