Is there a way to use Ejbjar task for JBoss to build a jar with containing more than one ejb? I have in my source tree several ejb in different subdirectories. For every ejb I have a deployment descriptor with name -ejb-jar.xml and -jboss-ejb-jar.xml. I want to merge all these descriptors in to one deployment descriptor for all the application in the build directory ( -ejb-jar.xml and -jboss-ejb-jar.xml>) and have all the classes in one jar file. Ejbjar task is building one jar file per ejb which is not very nice if you have a big number of EJBs in your application. Is there a way to use ejbjar to produce what I need. Or did somebody al More>>

Thomas,

I have two separate ant targets to build either a single complete bean jar with the contents of all EJBs included from a single ejb-jar descriptor file (using the basejarname naming convention) OR to build individual bean jars using separate and individiual ejb-jar descriptors for each bean (using the ejb-name naming convention) and then unjar them all and re-jar them into the master (complete) bean jar. Unfortunately, I have to have a set of individually managed descriptor files for the latter target to work and a duplicate (much larger) pair of combined descriptor files for the former target that does it all in one shot.

I think the combine descriptor file using basejarname style would work for you if you have no need to distribute the individual beans separately from the combined master bean jar.

I'm looking for a way to combine the flexibility of a single combined set of descriptors with the utility of building only the bean that has changed. The combined descriptor method forces a ejbc re-compile of all beans when it detects a change to any single one.

My working environment is Weblogic 6.1, but I have designed the ant script to make similar targets for an eventual conversion to jboss. I just haven't got that far yet.

Hello,

I'm not sure to have understood your problem (don't know what is the Ejbjar task). I use a single ejb-jar.xml (the standard EJB deployment descriptor) and a jboss.xml + jaws.xml that are container specific.

Following there's a shorter version of the jboss.xml running in the reality (in the real one I have 11 EJBs).

My jboss.xml looks like:






  false
  
  
    
      MyAppDB
      java:/MyAppDB      
    
  
  
    
      Activity
      MyApp/Activity
      Standard CMP EntityBean
      
        MyAppDB
        MyAppDB        
        True
      
      
	ejb/DAOSearch
        MyApp/DAOSearch                
            
    
    
      DAOSearch
      MyApp/DAOSearch
      Standard Stateless SessionBean

If you need also the jaws.xml and the ejb-jar.xml I can show you.
