[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - how to start!

[woodmawa]

I've been having a play with hibernate entity manager, and annotations in standalone mode, 

I then thought i'd make the next step the embedded ejb3 server - but still without a full AS.  (take things small step at a time).

I got the ejb3 RC9 and RC9.1 zips and unzipped them into a jboss root folder.

I then included all the jars in the /lib and ejb3.deployer foolders into the eclipse class path

I then tried to but i cant figure out what next.  I tried to copy some sample programme from the hibernate persistence chapter 2 thats on the web.



  | public class NeilsApp2 {
  | 
  | 	import org.jboss.ejb3.embedded.EJB3StandaloneBootstrap;
  | 	import javax.naming.InitialContext;
  | 	public class HelloWorld {
  | 	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
  | //	 Boot the JBoss Microcontainer with EJB3 settings, automatically
  | //	 loads ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml and embedded-jboss-beans.xml
  | 	EJB3StandaloneBootstrap.boot(null);
  | //	 Deploy custom stateless beans (datasource, mostly)
  | 	EJB3StandaloneBootstrap
  | 	.deployXmlResource("META-INF/helloworld-beans.xml");
  | //	 Deploy all EJBs found on classpath (slow, scans all)
  | //	 EJB3StandaloneBootstrap.scanClasspath();
  | //	 Deploy all EJBs found on classpath (fast, scans build directory)
  | //	 This is a relative location, matching the substring end of one
  | //	 of java.class.path locations. Print out the value of
  | //	 System.getProperty("java.class.path") to see all paths.
  | 	EJB3StandaloneBootstrap.scanClasspath("helloworld-ejb3/bin");
  | //	 Create InitialContext from jndi.properties
  | 	Listing 2.16 ?Hello World? main application code, calling EJBs
  | 	Starting a Java Persistence project 85
  | 	InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
  | //	 Look up the stateless MessageHandler EJB
  | 	MessageHandler msgHandler = (MessageHandler) initialContext
  | 	.lookup("MessageHandlerBean/local");
  | //	 Call the stateless EJB
  | 	msgHandler.saveMessages();
  | 	msgHandler.showMessages();
  | //	 Shut down EJB container
  | 	EJB3StandaloneBootstrap.shutdown();
  | 	}
  | 

this as cut and pasted.  Eclipse says it cant find resolution for the imports.  In particular i cant find any jar file with an org.jboss.ejb3.embedded package in it.

I dont understand what else i'm missing.  

I downloaded the jboss5 beta - however if i try and use jboss IDE to create a server it only sees version4.  I pointed it at the jboss5 server anyhow in default and all modes.  HOwever if i try and create an ejb3 project in eclipse - it says the server doesnt have the required ejb3 jars.  so i've gone no further down this route at present.

Any how i wanted the embbedded version outside of an AS first.  So what am i supposed to do to get the ejb3 embedded version up and running.

The chapter2 words imply their is an embedded-jboss-beans.xml file but i cant find that in the rc9.1 extract.  Do you have to have the full AS as well as the ejb3 files?

Any help?
