External JARs and CMP relationships

[rchristy63]

Am I allowed to do the following. I have two entity beans in defined two different jars. I'm trying to map a one-to-many relationship between these two entity beans. I seem to be having trouble during the deployment with the following exception. I've defined an external-ref in my ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor, but that doesn't seem to solving my problems.

Thanks in advance,

Rich

I doubt if you can do that. This is from the Spec 10.3.2

Container-managed relationships can exist only among entity beans within the same local relationship scope, as defined by the relationships element in the deployment descriptor. Container-managed relationships are defined in terms of the local interfaces of the related beans.

Since you cannot have two beans in different jars within a relationship scope, i think you might be out of luck.

Raj,

I suspected I might have been doing something wrong. Thanks for confirming that.
