Hi,

We have an implementation of a bean (MDB and Session) that needs to be deployed multiple times using different deployment descriptor values. For example, we may have 10 MDBs that use the same code, but each listens to different queues.

Is there a way to approach this type of problem using MyEclipse/XDoclet?

BTW – In the interim, we have used XSLT to handle this situation, but would like to move it back upstream.

Thanks in advance,
Erik

Do you have 10 different MDB source files that use common code or is it one source file that gets its xdoclet tags changed and deployment descriptors regenerated for each of the 10 different queues.?

Greg,

We have one source file that uses XDoclet to create/configure a single bean instance, then we customize 9 copies of the deployment descriptors; creating 10 EAR files each with the same class files…

Cheers,
Erik

Erik,

What about making a base Session bean class that implements your common code. Then create 10 subclasses that extend the common session bean class. Each of these subclasses would have specific xdoclet tags for particular appservers. Then you can run XDoclet once and it should get all of the appservers.

I haven’t ever personally tried what I’m suggesting but it should be possible.
