There also needs to be some work done in WTP as well as in the
geronimo plugins so that the tags can get registered in WTP in both
the xdoclet configuration panel and in content assist. I can work
on driving those changes in.
Sachin.
I'm curious about this XDoclet stuff. Does this mean that deployment
plans will be built from XDoclet? Or is it for some other purpose?
Currently it supports the generation of the openejb-jar.xml file for
session and message-driven beans. See the JIRA issue regarding
limitations/further work required.
There may be people who already have EJB applications written for
other application servers where the build of the EJB application uses
XDoclet tags (e.g. @ejb and @weblogic/@websphere/@jboss) in their EJBs.
The Geronimo XDoclet plugin adds support for the @geronimo tag.
Therefore those XDoclet users could add the appropriate @geronimo tags
to their EJBs to generate openejb-jar.xml files in addition to the
other App server specific files. Note that it isn't as simple as
changing @weblogic to @geronimo in your EJB code though, since the tag
parameters are application server specific.
True. But a lot of the context would probably be derived from the @ejb
tags, right? So I would expect there to be some commonality between
them. But thanks for the information. I'll have to go look at the JIRA
and see if I can make use of the XDoclet module. I'm a big addict of
XDoclet.
