Hi Two things actually. No three. Firstly, I'm not using JBoss, I'm using Sun's thing, but I think my question is generic.
Second, how do you ppl get the whole [beginners corner] prefix to your messages? The <https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user> site says nothing about that, it just says post to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I added my own prefix but its consistency says there's more to it than that. OK, on to my question. I can't seem to find an example of a working CMP entity bean that uses a String as its primary key, and I'm getting errors I can't fix. This will be my first entity bean, so I guess I may have missed something, but I can't tell you how many books and examples I've worked through, and how much work has gone into learning this so far. It's all pretty simple, but it doesnae work. I'm getting the following failures: For [ RegistrantBean ] For EJB Class [ RegistrantBean ] ejbCreate(...) method [ ejbRemove ] Error: An ejbCreate(...) method was found, but did not properly return the primary key class type. For [ RegistrantBean ] For Home interface [ RegistrantHome ] Error: No single arg findByPrimaryKey(PrimaryKeyClass) method was found in home interface class [ RegistrantHome ]. For [ RegistrantBean ] Error: [ RegistrantBean ] does not properly implement the EntityBean interface. All entity beans must implement the EntityBean interface. [ RegistrantBean ] is not a valid bean. For [ RegistrantBean ] Error: [ RegistrantBean ] is not a valid bean. The bean provider must use the appropriate session or entity element to declare the bean type. If you want it, here's my code: Remote interface: import java.rmi.RemoteException; import javax.ejb.*; public interface Registrant extends EJBObject { public String getEmail() throws RemoteException; public String getPassword() throws RemoteException; public String getFirstName() throws RemoteException; // notes say set methods aren't exposed to the public //public void setEmail(String pEmail) throws RemoteException; //public void setPassword(String pPassword) throws RemoteException; //public void setFirstName(String pFirstName) throws RemoteException; } Home interface: import java.rmi.RemoteException; import javax.ejb.CreateException; import javax.ejb.FinderException; public interface RegistrantHome extends javax.ejb.EJBHome { // creates and initialises a bean instance public Registrant create (String email, String password, String pFirstName) throws CreateException, RemoteException; public Registrant findByPrimaryKey (Registrant registrant) throws FinderException, RemoteException; } Bean: import javax.ejb.*; public abstract class RegistrantBean implements EntityBean { public Registrant ejbCreate(String pEmail, String pPassword, String pFirstName) throws CreateException { setEmail(pEmail); setPassword(pPassword); setFirstName(pFirstName); return null; } public void ejbPostCreate(String pEmail, String pPassword, String pFirstName) {} // CMP fields public abstract String getEmail(); public abstract void setEmail(String pEmail); public abstract String getPassword(); public abstract void setPassword(String pPassword); public abstract String getFirstName(); public abstract void setFirstName(String pFirstName); public void ejbActivate() {} public void ejbPassivate() {} public void ejbLoad() {} public void ejbStore() {} public void ejbRemove() {} private EntityContext ctx; public void setEntityContext(EntityContext ctx) { this.ctx = ctx; } public void unsetEntityContext() { this.ctx = null; } } All ideas welcome.
