<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Hello,</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>what are your experiences with JBoss Tools (1.1.0..-Beta2 maven-feature, 2.2.0..-beta2 as-feature), Eclipse Helios (3.6.1), JBoss AS 6 Final and M2Eclipse (0.10.2, 0.11.1 wtp-feature)? </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>At the moment, I'm facing the following problems:</p><ul><li>context root of web-module</li><li>republish after changes</li><li>module name is part of global JNDI name</li></ul><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>For testing purposes I have created some maven modules with m2e.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>business (root module)</p><p>+ business-ear (application.xml is generated)</p><p>+ business-core (ejb module containing the EJB implementation)</p><p>+ business-services (ejb client view)</p><p>+ business-ws (web module containing a WS that references the local EJB)</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>ticket (root module)</p><p>+ ticket-ear (application.xml is generated)</p><p>+ ticket-core (ejb module containing the EJB implementation)</p><p>+ ticket-services (ejb client view)</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><strong>context root of the web-module</strong></p><p>Although business-ear/pom.xml contains a specific context-root, the web-module is only accessible under module-name-version (e.g. business-ws-1.0.0)</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><pre class="jive-pre"><code class="jive-code jive-xml"> <span class="jive-xml-tag"><plugin></span>

In this case, all maven modules get redeployed correctly. Otherwise, the server state shortly changes to "republish", but the server does not reload the components (=> service behaviour does not change!).</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p> Do I have to change any Eclipse settings to avoid "project > clean" after any changes?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><strong>module name is part of global JNDI name</strong></p><p>AFAIK, the EAR name is part of the EJBs global JNDI name.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>For example: </p><pre class="jive-pre"><code class="jive-code">TicketService - EJB3.x Default Remote Business Interface
ticket-ear/TicketServiceBean/remote-at.logis.was.ticket.TicketService - EJB3.x Remote Business Interface
</code></pre><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p> This global name is used to reference this EJB via injection</p><pre class="jive-pre"><code class="jive-code">@EJB(mappedName="ticket-ear/TicketServiceBean")
private TicketService ticketService;
</code></pre><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Within Eclipse, the module's version number is not recognized. But when building the components at command line, the version number is added to the EAR by default (e.g. ticket-ear-1.0.0). Therefore, the mapped-name has to be changed to “ticket-ear-1.0.0/TicketServiceBean” before. From my point of view, it is good to have version numbers to support parallel installation of different versions. But how can I tell Eclipse/M2E/... to use version numbers within my workspace as well?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Thomas</p></div>
