thanks for the fast reply. I managed to get the EjbJar task compiled in
(oh yes, the -Dejb.build=true setting...) but I do not get it to work.
My source layout looks like this: There is a directory for every bean:
<base>/build.xml
<base>/src/de/picturesafe/adam/ejb/person
In this directory are these files;
Home interface PersonHome.java
Remote interface Person.java
Business interface PersonBusiness.java
Bean implementation PersonBean.java
PK PersonPK.java
WEB-INF/ejb-jar.xml
WEB-INF/weblogic-ejb-jar.xml
I would like to have this setup for every single ejb.
Can you give me a hint what I do have to put in my build.xml file? I tried
<ejbjar
srcdir="src"
destdir="../build/classes"
generateweblogic = "true"
keepgeneric = "true"
basenameterminator = "-"
genericjarsuffix = "-generic.jar"
weblogicjarsuffix = "-wl.jar"
/>
But I get an Exception:
--> I do have only one DD!!
[ejbjar] 476 deployment descriptors located.

Great.
