Hi,

Please help me, I'm highly frustrated...
I'm trying to override the toString-Method in an local interface of an entity-bean. But that doesn't work, it seems that another method is called.
Here's what I've done so far:
The Entity I'm working on is called Document.
I'm working with xdoclet so I wrote


/**
* @ejb.interface-method view-type="local"
*/
public String toString()
{
return "content of entitybean";
}


in my DocumentEJB.
Xdoclet is generating a DocumentLocal-class with the line


public java.lang.String toString( ) ;


in it. In my sessionbean I create my Documentbean and want to call the toString()-method:


DocumentLocal doc = null;
DocumentLocalHome home = (DocumentLocalHome)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/local/docarchiv/Document");
doc = home.create();
System.out.println("Doc: ["+doc.toString()+"]");


I wanted my jboss 3.2.1 to printout something like "content of entitybean", but it said:


19:57:13,690 INFO [STDOUT] Doc: [ejb/local/docarchiv/Document:1000010000000000000000059]


, which is the type and the primary key of my created bean. Seems that my toString()-call is calling another toString-method I did not override.
But in which class is the called toString()-method located and how can I override it?

Thanks in advance
