I cannot express how strongly I recommend that you use jpa rather
than cmp for any project you have any control over, such as new
development.
I believe the xdoclet stuff you refer to doesn't work at all with
geronimo-openejb, I think it is for openejb 1 which is not integrated
with geronimo. In any case using ejb 3.0 with annotations is a much
better solution.

Hi All,
I've been quietly lurking on the list for the last eight weeks
working on the opposite ends of a web application. I've scaled the
AJAX-JavaScript-Struts integration mountain and I've just completed
deploying my first Entity Bean's using CMP. You'll may recall that
I previously conquered web container realm authentication and
application security integration, as well as Session EJB's. Throw
in some HTML and CSS learning for good measure and in a manner of
four months I've completely re-tooled myself for serious
application development. It's a lot to digest end to end, but it
is possible to learn and do.
I selected the MyEclipse plugin as a necessity to travel this kind
of development spectrum. Using Eclipse was without question, and I
needed the breadth of tools bundled by MyEclipse. It didn't hurt
that it had an attractive price for the features. These were the
same reasons that I selected Geronimo as an Application Server
Platform.
The largest problems I've had in this journey have been integration
between the development environment, Eclipse, and the Application
Server, Geronimo. I now completely understand the term "Death by
Configuration". I've also lacked a decent end to end tutorial for
this integration. I've humped through the MyEclipse examples using
JBoss or Weblogic and successfully transposed them into Geronimo
utilizing the wiki examples and a little help from the list.
At last, I see the nirvana of configuration management available
via XDoclet!
So here's the question:
How do I get OpenEJB XDoclet support integrated into MyEclipse?
I've tried adding the openejb subtask to the Standard EJB task and
I generate a blank openejb-jar.xml file. I'd really like to manage
my CMP field mappings in ths manner if possible.
Is anyone using XDoclet support to generate the openejb-jar.xml, or
geronimo-application.xml, or geronimo-web.xml? If so, where do I
find documentation/tutorial on its usage?
Perhaps all the answers lie at http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net/
xdoclet/ant/xdoclet/modules/openejb/ejb/OpenEJBSubTask.html , and I
will be studying it further. I would however prefer to find some
sage advice in my journey:)
Thanks to All for the work everyone does on Geronimo!
