Hello, The spec EJB2.0 says "Entity beans that use the EJB 1.1 component contract for CMP must still be supported in EJB 2.0 containers. However the contracts are separate and the bean provider must choose one or the other". This means that the use of "old-style explicit CMP fields" will still be allowed, but you will not be allowed to have in the same bean other CMP fields managed in EJB 2.0 way ! More precisely, in your bean deployment descriptor, you will have an element <cmp-version> indicating the version of CMP used by the entity bean (see the deployment descriptor chapter of EJB 2.0). You will have <cmp-version>1.x</cmp-version> or <cmp-version>2.x</cmp-version> (the default value !). best Regards, Francois -- ================================================================== Francois EXERTIER Evidian (Groupe Bull) 1, rue de Provence, BP 208, 38432 Echirolles cedex, FRANCE mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.evidian.com/ejb/ Tel: +33 (0)4 76 29 71 51 - Fax: +33 (0)4 76 29 76 00 PC: B1-319 Office: B1-316 ================================================================== ---- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "unsubscribe jonas-users".
