EJB compiling

[kishorecvr]

Hi,
I am using JDK 1.3 Standard Edition and unable to compile EJBs. Can anybody help in this issue how to go about?

Hi kishorecvr,

There are a few ways to package EJBs, depending on the app server that you are deploying them on. For example, if you are deploying on JBoss, you can simply use the jar tool that comes with the SDK to compile your EJB jars. However, if you are using WebLogic, you need to run those jars through a proprietary weblogic.ejbc EJB "compilation" process in order to prepare the EJB stubs for the app server to use.

For specific details, you will want to consult the technical reference manual for the application server that you are deploying to.

Hope this helps,
Adam Rice

As Adam alluded to, packaging and deployment in J2EE is largely dependent on the Application. It is better these days then a couple years ago though. The best way to build EJBs (I think) is to use ANT. ANT supports the major App Servers including WebLogic, WebSphere, JBoss, and Iplanet. Check it out at jakarta.apache.org/ant
