Hi,

My normal ejbCreate and ejbPostCreate methods work just fine. However, I wanted to create a versioning create method that will automate the creation of a new entity based on the old entity's data.

/**
* @ejb:create-method
*/
public String ejbVersion(com.hannonhill.object.interfaces.VersionedEntity entity) throws CreateException {
super.ejbCreate(entity.getName());
setVersion(entity.getVersion() + 1);
setIsCurrentVersion(false);
return null;
}

public void ejbPostVersion(com.hannonhill.object.interfaces.VersionedEntity entity) throws CreateException {
// for now, do nothing.
}


Those are my method definitions. Everything compiles just fine, but when JBoss deploys, I get this error message:

10:09:15,977 INFO [EJBDeployer]
Bean : MetadataAwareEntity
Method : public abstract MetadataAwareEntity version(MetadataAwareEntity) throws CreateException
Section: 12.2.11
Warning: Each local home method must match a method defined in the entity bean class.

In my generated (xdoclet) CMP class, there's no ejbVersion, as that is contained within the superclass, just like ejbCreate. So there IS a matching method as far as I can see.

I'm sure I'm missing something fairly obvious... any help on this would be great!

thanks-
Collin
