M2 EJB basics

Hi

It may be that I too much of a newbie to Maven to be considering M2, but I
am trying anyway :-)

In the example below I have some EJB code that won't compile as it can't
find the EJB jars.

What I can't see is how to set the location of the EJB jars though. If this
were Maven 1.x I would use properties as part of the solution, but for M2 I
just don't know where to start.

I half suspect that I need to create a dependency, but to what and where and
how I don't know.

If someone wants to tell me that M2 is not ready for newbies, that's fine
and I will go look at 1.x. If someone can help me get this to work though,
then I will persevere and maybe help make M2 a better thing.

Thanks

Nathan

RE: M2 EJB basics

Many thanks for the pointers. This is what worked:

  <dependency>
      <groupId>geronimo-spec</groupId>
      <artifactId>geronimo-spec-j2ee</artifactId>
      <version>1.4-rc4</version>
    </dependency>

I was not sure what to do with the point about using a reference
implementation from Sun. What changes would I make to my pom.xml for that?

Regards

Nathan

You have a few options:
- install in the local repo, as you have
- use a reference implementation - j2ee from sun for compilation
- use geronimo-spec for compilation (it is available in the repo already)

Create another dependency with packaging = pom, say j2ee-all, that declared
dependencies on all the others, then refer to that from your projects.

This appears to me to be a compile error in your code.

Cheers,

RE: M2 EJB basics

Thanks :-)

I have shown below what worked for me. A few questions though:

1 - I would normally (I think) wanted to have been able to refer to the file
called jboss-j2ee.jar in the $JBOSS_HOME/server/all/lib dir. Of course I can
copy and rename as I have below, but that doesn't seem right. What do other
people do here?

2 - It seems as though the relationship between a dependency and a jar is
1:1. If I wanted to just add all of the jars in a given directory, how would
I do that?

So, this is what did work for me.

In my pom.xml:

  <dependency>
      <groupId>jboss</groupId>
      <artifactId>j2ee</artifactId>
      <version>2.1</version>
    </dependency>

And, in my repository I copy the jboss-j2ee.jar to j2ee-2.1.jar and create a
pom, like this:

G:\nm_poc\ejb\jar>ls "D:\Documents and
Settings\nsowatsk\.m2\repository\jboss\j2
ee\2.1"
j2ee-2.1.jar     j2ee-2.1.pom   

G:\nm_poc\ejb\jar>more "D:\Documents and
Settings\nsowatsk\.m2\repository\jboss\
j2ee\2.1/j2ee-2.1.pom"

<project>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>jboss</groupId>
  <artifactId>j2ee</artifactId>
  <version>2.1</version>
</project>

So now I have:

You have the solution here : you need to add a j2ee-XX.jar dependency in
your pom for this project. But as it will not be on ibiblio you need to
download and install it in your m2 repository manually.

We all are newbies in M2 ;-) (only the great dev team is not...)
