Errrmm.. so sticking to my end-user-like question, what's the suggested way of solving this problem? Shall I extract JBoss' AutoNumber bean, and include it into my sources, adding some XDoclet-headers to the top? Even worse, rewrite the AutoNumberFactory in my own package? You see, all I need is to add 6 lines of code into the ejb-jar.xml and it all works. I've tested this manually including the right lines to the generated descriptor, repackaged it and it's doing fine.. > > I guess the only solution to generate an ejb-jar entry with XDoclet for a > > bean which is not included in my source files is to use the merge > > options.. > > these are for where you have source code, but want to write the dd by hand. > what you have is no source code, and need to include a bit of the dd by hand > yes?

What about an option with plain merging user-provided xml files into the generated sources without any additional checking or other logic? Dirty, but could help.. > > ps.

It does not look serious imho, but it's 05:13AM here so I decided not to figure out myself :) Christopher -- .Digital.Yearning.for.Networked.Assassination.and.Xenocide _______________________________________________ Xdoclet-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xdoclet-user
