yes... just checked - you're right.  I should apologise... haven't been
using entity beans recently, so not sure when this happened... perhaps
someone else can provide some feedback...

that one looks ok... check out test.ejb.cmr.CityLocal in the
samples... think of anything that might be setting this off?

we've talked about testing several times, but its difficult to know where
to draw the line, and dare I say it, this is possiblity XDoclet's biggest
weakness (although I'm happy for any of the other developers to argue
otherwise).  When I develop, I will test that the sample application
deploys on JBoss... up till recently I've only checked 2.4, but have now
got it working on 3.0alpha as well.

I think if we had a test suite to run post deploy it would be great, but
as we all have our own apps that typically have that support, its not in
the XDoclet cvs... if you were interested in writing something like that
it would certainly be welcomed with open arms (o:

bear with us... the create methods should be a quick fix... Ara - looking
at the template, I can see why they're not there... I'm not going to have
a look now, but I thought we use to have a "isCreateMethod" tag
somewhere... will look more tomorrow...

cheers
