Hi, As stated in bug 13808, I finally managed to get java:EJB provider to work.
I think a sample should be included with axis (as the one I attached to bug 13808) and that documentation should be added (there is no documentation about this provider anywhere) Concerning inout and out parameters (holders), they work well with Jboss 3 too. You might wonder why they might not work. Here is why : According to ejb 2.0 specification (5.4) "The objects that are passed as parameters on remote calls must be serializable.". But holders are not serializable. It works because the call is local. A remote call would probably fail. My Ejb should probably provides a local client view instead of a remote client view and so implement EJBLocalObject instead of EJBObject. But it would not work anymore with Axis. Cedric Chabanois
