Here is the javadoc header for my entity bean:

/**
* XDoclet-based CMP 2.x entity bean. This class must be declared
* public abstract because the concrete class will
* be implemented by the CMP providers tooling.
*
* To generate EJB related classes using XDoclet:
*
* – Add Standard EJB module to XDoclet project properties
* – Customize XDoclet configuration
* – Run XDoclet
*
* Below are the xdoclet-related tags needed for this EJB.
*
* @ejb.bean name=”XHQClass”
* display-name=”Name for XHQClass”
* description=”Description for XHQClass”
* jndi-name=”ejb/com/indx/xhq/server/model/ejb/XHQClassHome”
* local-jndi-name=”ejb/com/indx/xhq/server/model/ejb/XHQClassLocalHome”
* type=”CMP”
* cmp-version=”2.x”
* view-type=”both”
* primkey-field=”id”
* @ejb.persistence table-name=”txhqclass”
* @jboss.persistence table-name=”txhqclass”
* @ejb:util generate=”physical”
*/

As you can see, the javadoc specifically calls for the generation of a utility class. However, after successfully running XDoclet, no utility class is generated. Am I doing something wrong? The output from XDoclet is as follows:

Buildfile: C:\tools\eclipse\eclipse-SDK-3.0.2-win32\eclipse\workspace\XHQ\XHQServer\.xdoclet-build.tmp.xml

What I don’t see here in the output is the line:

[ejbdoclet] Generating Util class for ‘com.indx.xhq.server.model.ejb.XHQClass’

I’m running MyEclipse v3.8.4+QF2 on Windows XP Professional using
Eclipse v3.0.2, JBoss v4.0.2 and J2EE v1.4.1

Did you try going step by step through out EJB dev guide here?

You must also have the utilobject subtask under you ejbdoclet configuration. Open Properties > MyEclipse-XDoclet. Select your EJB configuration and under ejbdoclet, make sure that is a utilobject. If there is not, you will need to add one by right-clicking on ejbdoclet and choosing “Add”. Then select utilobject from the list and check the “cacheHomes” and “includeGUID” options.

Thanks. Adding the utilobject configuration did the trick.
