Cannot create an EJB3 session bean with Eclipse 3.4.0 [message #219869]

I just installed Eclipse 3.4.0 with Jboss 4.0.5 and I was trying to create
my first session bean. I created the EJB project but when I tried to add a
session bean the Create EJB 3.0 Session Bean wizard will not show my EJB
project in the top drop down list of the window. I am stuck.
I tried, as someone suggested to create just a POJI and a POJO with the
appropriate annotations. The two files appear under my ejbModule but no
session bean. The build complains that An EJB module must contain one or
more enterprise beans. ejb-jar.xml MyEjbProject/build/classes/META-INF
line 5 XML Problem

No error in the code. It appears that Eclipse doesn't really think I have
a bean.
Can anybody help please? I am new to Eclipse and EJB.

Thanks.

Dan

Hello Dan,

The root of the problem is that you use old version of JBoss. Version 4.0.5
supports J2EE up to spec level 1.4. It does not support Java EE 5. EJB 3 is
part of the Java EE 5 specification. Therefore, you have most probably
created an EJB 2.1 project targetted on JBoss 4.0.5. When you try to use the
EJB 3.0 Session Bean wizard, it will allow you to select only EJB 3.0
projects. You do not have such one and therefore you don't see it in the
drop-down.

Try using newer version of JBoss - 4.2 or later that supports Java EE 5.

Greetings,
Kaloyan
