Hi,
It's strongly suggested to try out the latest version build from CVS. The build process is not compicated, yet provides with some polished features like the OpenEJB-Tomcat integration.
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/
Thanks! Just downloaded it. I completely forgot about the excellent software.
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
Are the problems only pertaining to Java itself (a CLASSPATH issue) or do you think they're OpenEJB ones? Could you list them all?
some links on the openejb.org site are broken .. referring to content in older sourceforge site ..
They've been corrected. The updates should be soon (tomorrow?) visible. I'm not yet sure if the pages are generated each night or manually.
Where are these broken link pages to be found in openejb.org?
openejb.sourceforge.net == www.openejb.org.
Would like to understand tomcat-object-factory.
Please report any problems you'll be facing. Please, however, build OpenEJB from the sources. That's where possible changes will go.
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?
I guess the XML server provides means to connect J2EE-compatible applications (i.e. EJBs) to itself like JDBC driver or JCA driver. What's that?
Otherwise, a BMP or SFSB could pull necessary data from the XML server.
thanks .. still learning by trial and error ..
