First of all, thanks for the quick replies!

I watched the other topic (already watched it in a previous search), but it's surprising me that it's impossible to have relationships over different jar's.

This means that I've to put nearly all my entity beans in one jar file (or dd). This is impossible and makes EB nearly unusable for me.

If I think of it more, it's saying that in a DB, two tables can't have a relationship even when they are in the same DB!

Are there possible workarounds for this huge problem?

Thnx!

Thanks a lot! One week of searching, never giving up, even when other people are saying it's impossible. It's possible!!!

Just put the entity you're refering to also in the ejb-jar.xml file and in the jbosscmp-jdbc.xml file.

Thnx!

And the story never ends :-)

After I got the relationship between two different jar files working, I ran very quickly in the following problem:

Entity A is in jar 1
Entity B1 is in jar 2
Entity B2 is in jar 2

Now A is having a relationship with B1. This is working perfect by calling A.getB1() and A.setB1().
But B1 is having a relationship with B2. When I try to call in a session bean in jar 1 A.getB1().getB2() I get the following error:
Method is not a known CMP field accessor, CMR field accessor, or ejbSelect method: methodName=XXXXXXXX

If I call B1.getB2() inside jar 2 there's no problem.

So I think I'll have to put the DD of B2 also in the DD of jar 1. But I'll also have to put the DD of the relationship between B1 and B2 in the DD of jar 1.

The problem is I don't know how to put these relationship tags in the DD using XDoclet.
Adding extra tags is easy by defining an other xml file, but I can't find anything about adding extra <ejb-relation> tags

Any help is welcome
Thanks a lot!!
