Thanks Jared for your reponse. I appreciate it very much!

The version number does solve my problem. However if there are dozens of jars need to be deployed. Changing version numbers can be tedious. Is there a magic switch/setting in Java Web Start that says if you click on a link, everything would be downloaded? Otherwise, what's the difference between starting an app from a web browser and an integrated desktop short cut?

Thanks in advance!

How should I do it with Java Web Start if I want everything to be downloaded every time a user clicks on the JNLP link?

I'm in the development phase of a SWING project and need to show the app to other people quite often, and because the app changes a lot, I just don't want the client machine to use anything cached.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot for your reply, Bruce. But I was asking about web-console. It should be the same as jmx-console. But web-console.war is unexplored. I had to re-compile the jboss to secure web-console. Any better ways? Thanks again.

Anybody knows how to do it? Thanks.

It goes in the deployment descriptor; one of those values that the bean provider generally specifies.
Any given ejbSelect that returns object references must support either remote objects, or local objects, but not both ('both' isn't a value you can put in that field in the DD).

You are right. There is a "result-type-mapping" tag. Although it is optional, the default is local. I was misled by the following (HF EJB P408): "As if by magic, the container knows which interface view to return, local or remote, depending on whether the invocation of the query came from a home or remote interface" or wasn't I?

Note that this remote-or-local-not-both limitation doesn't apply to the find methods. Finders will automatically provide remote object references when you are using a remote home interface, and local object references when you are using a local home interface.

How do you differentiate a select from a find in the deployment descriptor. Aren't they both declared in "query" tag?

When "static" and "class" show up together, I see "nested". Can EJB handle this? This is pretty wild.

Originally posted by Reid M. Pinchback:
the deployment descriptor determines if the component interface is to be local or remote.

Thanks Reid for your input. I have a follow up question: Can DD do that? What if you define both remote and local interfaces for a bean?

Thanks for the input, Anthony.
I guess the real question should be: what can or should an entity bean's home business method return? Anything including the bean's component interface? Regarding the component interface, is it those create and find methods are there for?

In P420, second bullet point from the bottom on the right side. It reads,
"A SELECT can return either an <abstract-schema-type> (which really means the bean's local component interface type), or a single-value field".
Is this correct? Thanks.

In P325, under section "three ways to get a reference to an entity bean", it reads "Client calls a home business method that returns a reference to the bean's component interface".
In P346, under "What to put in a home business method", it reads "Put code in your home business methods that apply to the underlying database-for a group of entities rather than one specific entity-and that don't return the bean's component interface".
Is this an error or am I missing something? Thanks.

Just put them together and you're all set.
Say, you have j2ee1.3 examples installed in your_home/j2eetutorial, then you need to unpack the zip file that comes with the "Getting Started..." guide to the SAME directory. In the process, some of the files will be overwritten to be jboss friendly.

Apparently you were in a hurry when you looked at those posts and the "Getting Started..." guide. You HAVE to install J2EE1.3 tutorial first.

It worked when I changed to J2sdk1.4 from 1.3. Thanks.

Anyone run into the same problem before? I have attached the message dump. Please help!
