Atif,
On step 2. AFAIK, all you need do is compile your ejb with the Sun ejb.jar,
plus any other libraries you happen to be using. Compile this with ant and
make the jar. www.jollem.com has a good tutorial on an ejb compiling and
making the jar file.
You do not need a "special" ejb descriptor with orion. Sun's ejb-jar.xml
file is all that is necessary for most applications. There is no special
"compile" step to create stubs for orion, orion does this on the fly, so
you have to. Other appservers, including Sun's j2ee require a stub-creation
step. Not so with orion. There is no ejbc step!
Its really easier than any other appserver.
Good luck,
regards,
the elephantwalker

Subject: EJB COmpiliation and Deployment Help
Hey Folks,
Im very new to Orion but Im familiar with the J2EE world. I have a framework
which has several EJBs that I need to get workign within Orion (actually
within 9ioas, but they use Orion's container now). So, my question is as
follows. Ive looked around at the existing documentation and Im not clear on
the steps I'll need to take to make the beans compatible with Orion.
>From what I know about j2ee, I'll have to do the following:
1) Write the app server specific deployment descriptors for each bean
2) Re-compile the EJB using Orion's ejbc and put this into a jar
3) Specify to the app server that I want to deploy the bean
4) Start up and test
Now, step 2 is where Im confused. Is it true that all I have to do is write
out the orion deployment descriptors and then orion will takecare of the
rest for me? Do I not need to jar everything together?
If I someone could take the time to explain the steps I'll need to go
through in order to get my beans working, that would be a huge help.
Thanks!
