Yes, you're right. It was just an idea, because the Home-, Remote-, Local-
Interfaces are already generated without Xdoclet. 
I'm also thinking about problems regarding the development of Xdoclet.
Xdoclet 2 is not final and the effort creating templates or modules for
Xdoclet 2 is almost the same as creating templates for AndroMDA - they
aren't reusable from the 1.2x version of Xdoclet.
The next problems will occure with newer versions of Weblogic or Jboss 4.x,
EJB2.1 and other features that aren't possible at the moment.
Sure, AndroMDA should not create everything new, but in this case I'm just
want to be sure that there will be a migration path if Xdoclet 1.2x is
outdated and Xdoclet 2.x isn't ready.

For example, the newest Xdoclet 1.2 Version (from begin of may) won't work
with EVERY project I've created using Xdoclet - sounds not really good.

Yes, Chad has got them.

Oh, cool. How Do you want to use them?
I've also a big project based on webservices, in my case I've created almost
for my own using Axis (no Jboss.NET) and SessionBeans exposing their remote
interface - also using EJB Security for securing the webservices.
Isn't all this stuff firstly useable without beeing application server
dependend since EJB 2.1?

Sascha
