Is there an OpenEJB 3.2 binary snapshot available anywhere? What I am looking for specifically is an OpenEJB plugin that works with Tomcat 6.0.29 and which has a working include/exclude mechanism for annotation scanning.
The exclude mechanism doesn't seem to work in the 3.1.4 plugin, and when I tried a 4.0.0 snapshot it didn't play along with Tomcat 6.0.29, because calls were made to a method that only exists in Tomcat 7: org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.addApplicationEventListener. I also tried to compile 3.2 from the Subversion branch, but I ran into problems with broken openwebbeans dependencies which I couldn't figure out how to fix. I am trying to integrate my own EJB-based code with a third-party application that runs on Tomcat 6.0.29, so using Tomcat 7 is not an option at the moment. The plugin from the OpenEJB 3.1.4 release actually works, but I need to add an extra gig of RAM to the server just in order to get through the annotation-scanning phase, which even then takes quite a long time. Running my EJBs in the standalone container in its own JVM works too of course, but for production it would be much nicer to have everything deployed in Tomcat. -- Björn Danielsson Cuspy Code AB
