You can't have it both ways:
j2ee.ejb.Session extends j2ee.ejb.EJB
geronimo.ejb.EJB extends j2ee.ejb.EJB
geronimo.ejb.Session extends (j2ee.ejb.Session and geronimo.ejb.EJB???)
The rationale for not having geronimo.ejb.EJB (the abstract
supertype for Session/Entity/Message beans) is that geronimo.ejb.Session
can't extend it!
That's why Greg is proposing that everything in J2EE land should
turn into interfaces, but I continue to object to having all the
implementation in the Geronimo objects only, especially since you STILL
can't avoid duplicating code.
