Re: EJB projects in WDSC 6.0 standard version

WDSC 6 is just a tools for building the application. It cannot help you to design the system. I have problem to use EJB 2.0. A lot of trouble! I'm now trying the Spring framework and Hibernate. I really suggest you to spend some time for those two frameworks. Hibernate is now supporting the composite key (I hate the generated Id as the primary key)!!! I like it.

I didn't try the EJB 3.0. So far, Spring and Hibernate are good enough. If I need to run the application in the "managed environment", I will port it to EJB3. My understanding is that Spring and Hibernate can work with EJB3.

WDSC 6 standard is based on Rational Website Developer, which does not
support EJBs. EJB support is a very artificial distinction, IMHO, and in
newer versions of WDSC it will go away entirely (there will be no RWD, and
WDSC will be based on RAD, with no advanced edition). I'm not sure what the
case is with WDSC 7 standard edition; I haven't tried creating an EJB
project in that tool, although I suspect that it still has the EJB support
disabled.

I am working with a Java developer who is developing objects for a WAS
6.0 application using WDSC 6.0 Standard version.

Specifically he is trying to create an EJB project and is have
difficulty figuring out how to do that.

I was wondering if this ability (EJB project creation) might be limited
to Rational Application Developer or the advanced version of WDSC.
