The examples in the chapter refer to EJB2.0 specifications. There are two
reasons why it doesnt work. Firstly, when we originally wrote the code the
EJB2.0 spec wasnt yet released and the spec changed seriously enough to
break some of the code. The author has updated the code to reflect the new
specification, and I can send you it if you like, however....

The other reason is that there are no EJB2.0 servers that fully implement
the specification. That means that the code wont work properly whether you
use the old or the new version of the code download.

If you want the updated source code please mail me and I will send it to
you. I am working out at the moment whether a more handy solution is
possible.

I hope that helps, reply to the list if you want to comment on what I sent.
I am sure that everyone will be interested to here how this develops.

Subject: [j2ee] code examples of chapter 30, projava_server, J2EE?


I may have missed something because I tried the examples of this last 
chapter(30) and it did not work in both J2ee IR(j2ee1.2.1 and j2ee1.3) and 
orion servers. With J2ee IR the example stopped when the entity bean tried 
to look-up for a database with the error "no database name found". Orion 
gave the error "page not found" when I tried to deploy in IE5.5.

I hope especially wrox staff will look into this matter. If some codes are 
missing, please make some effort to improve it. It is an excellent book, 
aside from an apparent fact that many techniques should have been 
discussed in the J2EE context.
