Rick,
Thanks for the help, but I'm still not there yet:
What files do you refer to with "the generate xml files"?
>From the 1.2 beta 1 docs:
"The problem is that you will need to change your code when the url
changes. Several merge points exist in ejb-body.xdt. This file is the
template for ejb-jar.xml, you can see the merge point we need:
<XDtMerge:merge file="ejb-env-entries-{0}.xml">.
Every line between this tag and its closing tag will be replaced in the
generated ejb-jar.xml file by the content of
ejb-env-entries-SessionBean.xml, found under the directory given by the
mergeDir attribute you specify for the task or the subtask and a
directory structure given by the package of the class."
What does the notation "{0}" mean in "ejb-env-entries-{0}.xml"? I had
not encountered this notation prior to looking into XDoclet.
How do you know which *.xdt files are templates for which deployment
descriptors?
How was the file name "ejb-env-entries-SessionBean.xml" arrived at?
Thanks a lot for your help. Some of the XDoclet functionality is
difficult to crack into but very useful once you figure it out.
