Hi, I had a EJB3 presentation on a Poznan University yesterday. I had done it with Glassfish as it's nicely integrated with NetBeans IDE 6 which provides features for Java EE development beyond those I could find in Eclipse (I'm not talking about RAD7.5 though that's around the corner). I'm alone missing tools for openejb I could use for ejb3 development. The Geronimo plugin for NetBeans I'm working on takes ages to be finished even for a basic use cases.
I wonder what people use for their EJB3 developments. I keep thinking about a m2 plugin for developing ejb3 and running unit tests without much trouble. I can't say what exactly I have in my mind as it's just an idea I had for a long time. I miss a tool, but can't say exactly what it should be. I like the way the jetty-maven-plugin works where I could run a webapp on jetty with just mvn jetty:run or similar. I wish I could have something similar for openejb3, but can't figure out how it should work. Should openejb (or the plugin itself) provide a http connector that would allow people execute tests? NetBeans/Glassfish have a nice interface for web services testing when ejb3 annotated with @WebService can be deployed to Glassfish and a special URL points to the Tester web application that allows to execute @WebMethod's. Can anyone point me into a right direction? What pieces I miss to finish the puzzle? I seem puzzled. Jacek -- Jacek Laskowski http://www.JacekLaskowski.pl
