Hi,
the procedure is quite easy, but far from obvious without docs (yes, we are working on
it ;).
You were on the right track, just a few more steps, from the start:
1. Deploy the EJB, this attempts to create a table (which in your case will fail) and
writes the
orion/orion-ejb-jar.xml descriptor.
2. Edit the orion/orion-ejb-jar.xml descriptor to fit your needs (as you did).
3. Touch (open and save) the META-INF/ejb-jar.xml file to make Orion aware of the
update.
4. Restart Orion or touch the config/ejb.xml file, Orion should now redeploy the beans
with the
new settings.
Hope it helps, let us know if you have any additional problems! :)
