[jBoss-User] Quick questions about EJB in general

[Hardy, Patrick, DDI - Garden City]

Hello,

I have a few quick questions about EJB in general. I hope I can ask it here.

I downloaded a program called ejbDoclet where given a bean class, it will
create a slew of other classes including:

remote interface 
home interface 
primary key class 
EntityBean CMP layer 
EntityBean BMP layer 
bulk data class 
ejb-jar.xml

What I don't understand is that it creates an abstract class that a CMP or
BMP class would implement. The abstract class contains all of the business
methods and required methods that must be implemented from the EntityBean
class. Why this additional layer of abstraction? Is this defined in a
specification somewhere? Aren't the only classes required are home, remote,
and bean classes for an EJB? Why should an additional abstract class be
implemented by the bean class?

Has anyone here used ejbDoclet before?

Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks.


Thanks.

I haven't lost my mind. It's backed up on tape somewhere.

Subject: [jBoss-User] Setting Context when using WAR files


Hi everyone,

I've been experimenting with JBoss for a couple of
weeks now and am really excited about using it for
some of our future projects.

I do have two simple (I hope) questions:  

1.  When deploying a WAR file, is there some way of
explicitly setting the Context?  Obviously this can
be done when using EARs, but I've been unable to find
how to do this for WARs.  Currently, the deployer
seems to just use the file name.  

2.  Hand in hand with the previous question, is
there any reason I should not be able to deploy
multiple WARs into the same Context.  The thought
here is multiple developers will each work on
separate parts of a larger app, and each can deploy
as they complete their sections.

Thanks,

Ken Robinson
