hi, i have hibernate working as service in jboss, just like it is explainded in http://www.hibernate.org/66.html . It is working fine, but now i want to create a session bean and use the service, but i get errors and i dont know how to fix it, thats the example of the bean (i've made it whit lomboz plugin for eclipse) . I've read all docs i found, but i can't make it work if somebody could fix that class or publish a similar working exmple i'll be very glad

The EJB is deployed using the usual jar in the deploy directory. The sar is already present so the domain objects should be found no problem as its the same deployment service. The link you quoted has a link to an example which should provide some guidence otherwise there is not enough information.

What is the exception?

If deploying as a service, you actually tell the hibernate service where to find a user transaction on jndi.

SO, your EJB config would need BMT for this one to work.

If you are using CMT, then you must have required transaction on the ejb methods for anything to work.

for xdoctags - i think it is something like

ejb.transaction type="Required"

Eclipse shows that error and doesn't compile

Product cannot be resolved or is not a type HibBean.java test/src/com/droplabs line 44
