ASL ejb.jar?
Hi guys,
I am working on some "ease of use"/doc issues at the moment, and in the mean time I made some changes to the build.xmls so that you can build Tapestry just by doing 'ant' -- no need to set vars in config. It downloads the files that are needed, etc.
I am missing one last piece of the puzzle -- ejb.jar. Do you happen to know if there is an ejb.jar with a compatible license? Or at least a (relatively small) distribution that can be downloaded and it can be extracted from? I just don't think it makes sense to download JBoss just for that.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
-mb

Yes, we can surely use Geronimo stuff. I was only referring to Sun's
J2SDKEE distribution that is not able to live in an ASF repository.

Correction...
The code _is_ in the repository, and is under ASL for sure (the sources
contain ASL 1.1 for example).
Here it is:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/incubator-geronimo/specs/ejb/src/java/javax/ejb/
I guess that probably means we can use their stuff.

Thanks Erik... I was referring to the JAR that contains javax.ejb.*. It is
defined in the EJB spec, I believe.
Oh well... Pity, that would have simplified life a lot :(
I was thinking about Geronimo -- it is bound to have an implementation under
ASL (the same way Tomcat has a servlet.jar implementation), but it appears
that the files are not in the repository yet :(. Would it make sense to send
a message to their list?
Interestingly, it appears that the OpenEJB project (http://openejb.sf.net)
has those files and it is under a BSD-like license. Theoretically, this
would mean that the ejb.jar they distribute (ejb-1.0.jar and ejb-2.0.jar in
their case) is also under BSD (which is compatible with Apache, I believe).
It also now appears that Apache Geronimo will use precisely OpenEJB as an
EJB container.
The other alternative we have is to find a small package that contains
ejb.jar/j2ee.jar. Then ant could download it and obtain the JAR from there.
I cannot find a relatively small package that fits the bill though...

I'm almost certain that you cannot distribute j2ee.jar (I'm not sure
what is in ejb.jar). In my JavaDevWithAnt build
<http://www.ehatchersolutions.com/JavaDevWithAnt> I made it so that it
checks for J2EE_HOME as an environment variable and finds j2ee.jar from
there or from some other property settings otherwise.
Thank you for fixing up the build to be simpler! It was on my ever
growing to-do list :)
