Yes it is.
And if it is not, it is a bug in xdoclet.
JNDI, hmmmm, I go that way already ;-). The issue here is to all lookups hardcoded in
your program to name (usually the COMP_NAME generated by xdoclet in home interfaces),
so you need an indirection here, use jboss.xml could solve the problem here.
I choose to use a Map (read through xml through a MBean) to forward a name A to a name
B. For example OrderCMPHome to OrderBMPHome, then all my existing code continue to
work and go to see another JNDI under different deployment.
Back to xdoclet, here I see no merge point in jboss_xml.j so it's a xdoclet bug :(
Database name:
You have a merge in jboss-jaws.j : jaws-db-settings-{0}.xml
This means if you have jaws-db-settings-OrderBean.xml, when you run xdoclet on
OrderBean, all the information will be extracted from the file (under a directory path
similar to the classpath) and replace all what you can find under <XDtMerge:merge
file="jaws-db-settings-{0}.xml"> in jboss-jaws.j.
Got it ?
Thanks to Ara (Southern Rickard ;) )

xdoclet works on javadoc/doclet tags so it parses the source file for @ comments on
class and method. i am not sure to understand your question :(
