You should start by reading the Value Object documentation at http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net/xdoclet/valueobjects.html You'll need to add several tags to get the relation inside the VO as well. > Here are the Xdoclet comments that I am using: > > =============================== > /** > * Get the department > * > * @ejb.interface-method > * > * @ejb.relation > * name="employee-department" > * role-name="employee-department:employee" > * > * @ejb.value-object > * > * @jboss.relation > * fk-constraint = "true" > * fk-column = "DEPARTMENT_FK" > * related-pk-field = "id" > * > */ > public abstract Department getDepartment(); The tags you'll need include (I think): members members-name aggregate (or compose) aggregate-name relation="external" as it's a relation It talks about specifying the return type of the collection (Collection or Set). I assume that you simply don't specify the type since it's the VO and not a collection, but I'm not entirely sure. Finally, you need to add an abstract method for getting the Vos: public abstract DepartmentVO getDepartmentVO(); You should tag it as interface-method, IIRC. You probably need to declare the setDepartmentVO as well. Hopefully this will get you started.
