Dain,
It's not clear how to invoke/test beans from the web admin the way

I never used it in 0.9.2, so I have no basis for comparison. Can you
describe what you find strange?
Well I'm getting NULL when I click on the beans listed in the JNDI
browser (e.g. for
the beans from the servlet-samples.war) and from the invoke menu
you can only go
back to the JNDI browser, and from EJB viewer there's not a way to
specify one.
Unless I'm wrong to assume that the web admin works with the Tomcat
plugin...
The jndi browser needs to be updated for business interfaces. Also,
you should be able to invoke anything bound into JNDI instead of just
EJBs. If someone has some time to look at this, that would be great.
So what's left, besides a how to on avoiding the OpenEJBListener
for per-webapp
embedding? ;-)
The basics are all working good and I think it is ready for 3.0-
beta-1. As for 3.0 final Tomcat integration, I'd like to:
o integrate security
o replace OpenEJB jndi impl with Tomcat impl
o change naming code to not replace the Tomcat enc builder but to
supplement it
o add ear support
The first two are easy, but the last two will be challenging.
I'd recommend adding to the top of the list the ability to bundle
Open-EJB with your
webapp (similar to Gernonimo's embeddable container). Is it just a
classloader/path
issue to move the listener to the web app's WEB-INF/web.xml as well
as the loader
and all the dependencies to the web app's WEB-INF/lib folder or is
it much more than
that?
It is a bit more complex. The reason I put this as a low priority is
the user will still have to install the JavaAgent and update the
annotations-api.jar for our code to run. If they are willing to go
that far, then they might as well install the listener globally.
Now when, OpenJPA fixes the non-enhancement mode and Tomcat updates
the annotation classes, I think we should look at the private web app
mode.
thanks Dain for your hard work, let me know where I can help,
The jndi browser and invoker above is a good place.
