I’ve been experimenting with writing EJBs. I am curious as to how to add my own business methods to an EJB. For some reason I assumed that simply creating a method in the XBean.java file (in the ejb package) would result in a similarly named method being added to one of the classes that XDoclet creates. I guess I assumed the XBean.java class in the interfaces package is where this would occur. However, I am not seeing this behavior (even after running XDoclet).

Now the file that contains the interfaces.XBean class says “Do Not Edit!” at the top. So I am not sure if I need to manually add the method to the remote interface (but where?). Or should it be added automatically after running XDoclet (which I am not observing).

How should this work with MyEclipse?

Thanks,
Mike

Things seem to work as I expected with the finder methods. I add a finder method to the ejb.XBean class and run XDoclet. Magically, a corresponding method is generated in the home interface (interfaces.XBeanHome).

I am also using default settings for XDoclet. I simply added the standard EJB doclet to the project and also added the JBoss doclet.

Mike,

You need to tell XDoclet specifically which methods you’d like to include in your public interface upon regeneration by specifying the @ejb.interface-method tag.

Details on all the XDoclet settings are available in the MyEclipse User Guide or online here:
