Hello,

I am using automatic code generation for EJB interfaces. I am successful so far. Now I updated entity bean class two new methods. But for some reason when I run Xdoclet, those two methods are not going into Data class that generated. If I add methods manually into Data class they are getting erased everytime I run Xdoclet.

Can some one help me.

Thanks,
CHandra

Chandra I have asked our XDoclet guru to have a look at this.

What data class isn’t getting updated? A dataobject? or other interface? Try earsing the existing data class and when it gets regenerated see if it contains the new methods. Do these new methods have to be annotated with xdoclet tags for them to be added to the data class?

Dataobject is not getting updated. It is getting updated only if I add annotation @ejb.persistence. But In my case I want to add couple of methods to Data objects for which there is no database column. I have declared them in Bean class and added annotation @ejb.interface-method view-type =”local”

Thanks
Chandra

Data objects are really just “value objects” and aren’t meant to hold any business logic. So the value/data objects are just going to hold the fields of your entity bean. However, you can add your own custom code to each data object using a merge directory. However, this would add the same code to each entity bean. If this is ok let me know and I can describe how to use the merge file if you are unfamliar with that.

That wouldn’t work for me. I do not want to add the same fields to every object. I will build aother data object on the top(manually) to get around the problem.

Thanks for your help.
