this ejb-jar.xml only contains entries for session beans? where did the entries for entity beans went?Ive written XDoclet tags for the Entity Bean as what ive posted above....help!!!

Answer 1

you comment the generation of CMP entity beans out :
build.xml:
replace
<!-- <entitycmp/> -->
with
<entitycmp/>i've already removed the comments of the tag <entitycmp> and yet the resulting ejb-jar.xml contains no <entity> tags....i'm just wondering how can i include the generation of entity tags (not only session tags) in the resulting ejb-jar.xml
