Sample weblogic-ejb-jar.xml for Resource-ref EJB 3.0

Question

I am trying to create an MDB that can be re-used under different names.
@MessageDriven(description = "An MDB that transfers messages from one Queue to another", activationConfig = { @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue") })
@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)
public class TransferMdb implements MessageListener {
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(TransferMdb.class);
@Resource(name = "jms/connfactory")
private ConnectionFactory connectionFactory;
@Resource(name = "jms/targetDestination")
private Queue targetDestination;
<ejb-jar version="3.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd">

</message-driven>
</enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>

<jndi-name>reply_queue</jndi-name>
</resource-description>
</reference-descriptor>
</weblogic-enterprise-bean>
</weblogic-ejb-jar>
However when I deploy the above, I get exceptions such as:

I am clearly missing items in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml. If anyone has a sample or tips, that would be awesome as a starting point.

Answer 1

Those tags just declare that you are using our CMP provider and that
your descriptor is in META-INF/weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml.
FWIW, you might also want to check out EJBGen. It tends to keep more up
to date with WLS than xdoclet.

I am using xdoclets to generate descriptor file weblogic-ejb-jar.xml
for a BMP entity bean. Xdoclet is generating the descriptor file
alright, but is putting the following extra tags. This happens even
for samples which come with the download, so my tags in java file are
not wrong.
My question is, are the extra tags below harmless, or should I
manually go to each desciptor file and remove them?
Thanks.
