Hi,

Has anyone been able to inject a 2.1 entity bean home into 3.0 session bean using the @EJB annotation in jboss-5.0.0.Beta4?

I have tried the following (fairly sure it should work according to EJB3 spec)

Session Fragment: -

@Stateless(name="ExampleService")
@Local(ExampleService.class)
@Remote(ExampleServiceRemote.class)
@TransactionAttribute(REQUIRED)
public class ExampleServiceBean implements ExampleService,ExampleServiceRemote,Serializable {

 private static final long serialVersionUID = -7533521006618484580L;

 @EJB
 private Example21EntityHome example21EntityHome;

 private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ExampleServiceBean.class);

 /**
 * Does what ever you tell it too
 * @param whatToDo request text
 * @return string response text
 */
 public String doSomething(String whatToDo) {


 String doing = "doing " + whatToDo;

 try {
 example21EntityHome.create(doing);
 } catch (CreateException e) {

 logger.error("Unable to create 2.1 entity bean",e);
 }

 logger.info(doing);
 return doing;

 }



}

Entity Fragment : -

public abstract class Example21EntityBean extends EntityAdapter implements Serializable {

 public abstract Integer getPk();

 public abstract void setPk(Integer pk);

 public abstract String getData();

 public abstract void setData(String data);

 public Integer ejbCreate(String data) throws CreateException {
 // dummy, pk set by auto-generated-pk
 setPk(0);
 setData(data);
 return null;
 }

 public void ejbPostCreate(String data) {
 // empty implementation

 }
}

However, on deployment I get the following stack trace: -

17:13:58,517 ERROR [ProfileServiceBootstrap] Failed to load profile: Summary of incomplete deployments (SEE PREVIOUS ERRORS FOR DETAILS):

NB Packaged as two ejb jar files in the same ear to get around issue posted @ http://www.jboss.org/?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=103268

Has anyone tried to do something similar? Is this supported functionality?

Thanks
