Ajay- I believe the performance improvement has to do with some efficiencies built into the 6.1 ejbc. I've also noticed a significant decrease in the time it takes to generate ejbs.
Another nice feature in Ant (I think since Ant 1.4 but I could be wrong) is the "noEJBC" attribute. This allows control over invoking the weblogic.ejbc in the <ejbjar> task. If it's set to "true", weblogic.ejbc will not be invoked and expects the ejb-jars to be ejbc'd during deployment. If it's set to "false" (which is the default), it does invoke weblogic.ejbc. I think the warning messages only appear when weblogic.ejbc is run otherwise if noEJBC=true you won't see this warnings. It's definitely an implementation specific decision for ejbc'ing your ejbs during the build or not. I personally like to run weblogic.ejbc to identify any potential problems during build time versus finding out about them during deployment time. Again, it's an implementation decision. All of the particulars on the <ejbjar> task can be found in the Ant docs: http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/OptionalTasks/ejb.html#ejbjar. Cheers!

Eddie, Thanks for the reply! Copying DTDs locally & pointing to them is a good idea. I think I will do that for now. Yes, I was talking about the same warnings related to classpath. They don't seem to be harmful, but we get a lot of them because we have a lot of ejbs. One more thing, have you noticed a performance improvement with the new weblogic.ejbc? The entire build process which used to take about 7 minutes under 5.1 runs under 3 minutes with 6.1! Is there a reason for that? Is weblogic.ejbc really doing something or is it delaying compilation until deployment time? Thanks again for your time. - Ajay -- Original Message -- >This snippet from my build.xml works for me.
