Janos, This one is my fault - I haven't updated the doco yet. As of a few days ago I put in merge points in ejb-jar.xml, so you can add three files, session-beans.xml, entity-beans.xml and message-driven-beans.xml to your merge directory, and they will be placed at the appropriate points in the ejb-jar.xml file. I haven't as yet added support for parallel merge points in jboss.xml and other vendor specific files (I will limit myself to jboss in any case as I'm not sure of the other app servers).
So.... this would then suggest to approach the problem from the other end, saying "here's my ejb-jar.xml, oh and, I have some other stuff to put in it, here ya go..." - I'm not sure if this is going to answer your request or not, but would think that it should go a long way towards doing so. otoh, what you are suggesting probably is already possible... (I haven't tried this, so a _big_ disclaimer applies :)... if you were to set your own template subtask up, and use the existing ejb-body.j template, then you should be able to generate the <entity>...</entity> parts of the ejb-jar.xml... which is the approach you're after yes? anyway, let me know how the first option sits with you. cheers dim On Tue, 4 Dec 2001, Janos Mucsi wrote: > Regarding Ara's last answer (thanks for it, by the way): > It is not about having "older" Java files that are not XDoclet annotated. > Nor is it about having EJB's for which we do not have the source. > It is about generating/changing/removing a descriptor for one bean and > leaving all the other xml tags intact.
