I'm quite new to OpenEJB .. but I have read through the archives (including sourceforge and this forum)
I'm running Tomcat 5.0.27 and OpenEJB-0.9.2 ... also I'm using jikes as an optional java compiler since it offers richer error reporting .. and weeds out classpath problems which I had in abundance .. get jikes from here .. http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/jikes/ ... I've managed to get the local server "Hello World!!" sample to work in console .. after much trial and error mainly due to classpath errors .. but jikes helped to weed these out. e.g. c:\my\app> jikes +DR=log.txt -verbose org\acme\*.java places a build dependency report (DR) into log.txt ... some links on the openejb.org site are broken .. referring to content in older sourceforge site .. e.g. in http://www.openejb.org/tomcat-howitworks.html broken link:- http://openejb.sourceforge.net/embedded.html and in http://www.openejb.org/tomcat-ejbrefs.html broken link:- http://openejb.sourceforge.net/tomcat-object-factory.html Where are these broken link pages to be found in openejb.org? Would like to understand tomcat-object-factory. ... I would like to get it working as in this earlier tutorial I found .. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/02/12/ejb_tomcat.html?page=2 much of this now repeated on openejb.org site, but a useful study. INTEGRATION I'm running another presentation layer program colocated in Tomcat\webapps\ .. this is XML driven and is planned to be integrated with EJB .. i.e. to have XML content (e,g. news data streams) "pushed" from EJB to the presentation layer on same Tomcat platform. what is the suggested connector or bridge between an XML driven application and EJB running on Tomcat? Can an XML server be used instead of SQL server? thanks .. still learning by trial and error .. dl
