Hey Wolfgang, The current ejbjar task works like this:
Using your example below, the task is expecting you to use a naming standard for your XML descriptors: Person-ejb-jar.xml Person-weblogic-ejb-jar.xml This will create a jar file with the name Person-wl.jar (assuming you are using the wl suffix). The srcdir parameter for the task is the root of your source tree AND the expected location of all of your deployment descriptors. So in order to use the task you will have to copy your descriptors from <base>/src/de/picturesafe/adam/ejb/person/WEB-INF/ to <base>/src using the copyfile task (your destination file name will need to comply with the expected naming standard). Our source code tree is set up in the same manner as yours. I know that Conor (and possibly the original task author, Tim Fennell) is exploring the idea of altering the task to support this kind of source tree. But there were some other changes involving support for multiple ClassLoaders for ejbc that needed to get in first. Hopefully this change will go into a near-term future release. john -----Original Message----- From: Wolfgang Werner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2000 4:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AW: Weblogic 5.1 task (ejbc alternative) Hi Conor, > There is a task already for EJB 1.1 jars.

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.
