WHat I think needs to be done, is to put some merge points in the
ejb-jar_xml.j like so:
<!-- Entity Beans -->
<XDtClass:forAllClasses type="javax.ejb.EntityBean">
<XDtEjb:ifIsAConcreteEJBean>
<entity id="<XDtEjb:id/>">
<XDtMerge:merge file="xdoclet/ejb/ejb-body.j">
</XDtMerge:merge>
</entity>
</XDtEjb:ifIsAConcreteEJBean>
</XDtClass:forAllClasses>
<!-- Add this bit here to under the existing entity bean block -->
<XDtMerge:merge file="entity-beans.xml">
<!--
If you have entity beans that you dont have source code for
then put a file named entity-beans.xml in your merge directory
with the appropriate xml.
-->
</XDtMerge:merge>
the only reason I'm holding off is that I'm not sure that there isn't
another way to do this already. you would also need to do something similar
for all other deployment descriptors (jaws/jboss/etc)...
