+Ant provides a number of optional tasks for developing +Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs). +In general these tasks are specific to the particular vendor's EJB Server. At present the tasks support +Weblogic 4.5.1 and 5.1 EJB servers. Over time we expect further optional tasks +to support additional EJB Servers. + +
| Task | Application Servers |
| ddcreator | Weblogic 4.5 |
| ejbc | Weblogic 4.5 |
| wlrun | Weblogic 4.5 |
| wlstop | Weblogic 4.5 |
| ejbjar | Weblogic 5.1 |
ddcreator will compile a set of Weblogic text-based deployment descriptors into a serialized +EJB deployment descriptor. The selection of which of the text-based descriptors are to be compiled +is based on the standard Ant include and exclude selection mechanisms. + + +
| Attribute | +Description | +Required | +
| descriptors | +This is the base directory from which descriptors are selected. | +Yes | +
| dest | +The directory where the serialised deployment descriptors will be written | +Yes | +
| classpath | +This is the classpath to use to run the underlying weblogic ddcreator tool.
+ This must include the weblogic.ejb.utils.DDCreator class |
+ No | +
<ddcreator descriptors="${dd.dir}"
+ dest="${gen.classes}"
+ classpath="${descriptorbuild.classpath}">
+ <include name="*.txt" />
+</ddcreator>

+The ejbc task will run Weblogic's ejbc tool. This tool will take a serialised deployment descriptor, +examine the various EJB interfaces and bean classes and then generate the required support classes +necessary to deploy the bean in a Weblogic EJB container. This will include the RMI stubs and skeletons +as well as the classes which implement the bean's home and remote interfaces. +
+The ant task which runs this tool is able to compile several beans in a single operation. The beans to be
+compiled are selected by including their serialised deployment descriptors. The standard ant
+include and exclude constructs can be used to select the deployment descriptors
+to be included.
+
+Each descriptor is examined to determiune whether the generated classes are out of date and need to be +regenerated. The deployment descriptor is de-serialized to discover the home, remote and +implementation classes. The corresponding source files are determined and checked to see their +modification times. These times and the modification time of the serialised descriptor itself are +compared with the modification time of the generated classes. If the generated classes are not present +or are out of date, the ejbc tool is run to generate new versions. +
| Attribute | +Description | +Required | +
| descriptors | +This is the base directory from which the serialised deployment descriptors are selected. | +Yes | +
| dest | +The base directory where the generated classes, RIM stubs and RMI skeletons are written | +Yes | +
| manifest | +The name of a manifest file to be written. This manifest will contain an entry for each EJB processed | +Yes | +
| src | +The base directory of the source tree containing the source files of the home interface, + remote interface and bean implementation classes. | +Yes | +
| classpath | +This classpath must include both the weblogic.ejbc class and the
+ classfiles of the bean, home interface, remote interface, etc of the bean being
+ processed. |
+ No | +
