You must use a merge file. All possible merge-files you find here: http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net/xdoclet/ant/xdoclet/modules/jboss/ejb/JBos... the very tricky thing is, that you must build the package-structure and store the file in the right package. Here is my structure: Source-code: src/main/java/ch/imis/ishop/ejbbackend/article/ejb The merge-directory: src/xdoclet now you must build inside the merge-dir the package-structure like this: src/xdoclet/ch/imis/ishop/ejbbackend/article/ejb and store the merge-file there. In the ant-task you must specify the merge-dir: <ant:ejbdoclet addedTags="" excludedTags="" destDir="" verbose="" mergedir="/src/xdoclet"> my merge-file-name: jbosscmp-jdbc-Article.xml Article stands for the ejb-class-name Another hint: A merge-file defines a part of the whole target-xml-file, so you must specify the whole part and can't specify only the things you need additional to the specified tags inside the class-file. Will also mean the xdoclet-tags inside the class will not be considered for the part of the merge-file View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3973554#...
