Hi everyone,
The project I'm working on just now (http://openportal.info) is split into 5 main
subprojects, some of which are interdependent.
These subprojects each generate an EJB jar file, and they are all merged together in a
separate process to create one big project EJB jar file. A maven plugin does the jar
file merging, by adding all classes from the subprojects and merging the contents of
the XML descriptor files.
This lets me just rebuild those parts which have changed, and let's me re-use one of
the subprojects in another separate project in a happy way (I use maven to reference a
specific version and it gets downloaded automatically.)
Till now, I've been manually creating value objects for these EJBs, but I recently
found the excellent value-object XDoclet subtask and want to convert to using that
instead.
The problem is that, when I create a value object in subproject B with a CMR
referencing a value object in subproject A, I get the following error:
"The Bean class is needed but not found in Xdoclet source path for interface"
This is fair enough - it doesn't have the source code from subproject A. The snag is,
I can add subproject A's source path, but I don't want to generate the remote
interfaces or add this subproject's details to the XML descriptors.
I realize getting my desired functionality will require me to extend XDoclet a bit,
and I'm not sure what the best approach would be. I can think of 2 ways to add this
functionality:
- add an "ignore" pattern to the other subtasks (local interfaces/cmp/etc)
- add filesets to the value-object subtask, specifying source code which can
be referenced but not acted upon
Can anyone advise what would fit best with XDoclet philosophy? Is there another,
better way to achieve the same thing?
Cheers,
Colin MacLeod
