Abstract Accessors via abstract public interface

[gavinandrews]

Trying JBOSS 3.2.1 with Tomcat

I have an OrderEntityEJB which I am migrating to JBOSS 3.2.1 from JBOSS 2.x and hence EJB1 to EJB2...

...OrderEJB implements IOrder
{
}

where

abstract public interface IOrder
{
abstract public Integer getOrderId();
abstract public void setOrderId(Integer i);
}


This seems OK to me.... but when I deploy I get
No abstract accessors found for field named 'OrderId'.

If I repeat the declaration in OrderEntityEJB then it works but one of the reasons I introduced the interface was that I need these declarations for my bulk accessors etc. elsewhere....

Why can't JBOSS spot that I have implemented an abstract interface that defines the abstract accessors?

(Sorry if this is a stupid question... i'm new to EJB2)

Thanks in advance,
Gavin

or...

public interface IOrder
{
abstract public Integer getOrderId();
abstract public void setOrderId(Integer i);
}

I eventually tracked this down.... I had accidentally 'extended' a concrete implementation of the accessors so they were not public abstract in the Entity bean.

It works beautifully now...

Thanks guys, JBOSS is soooo cool.
