I am using EJBGen to create my deployment descriptors. when I run the following command line. javadoc -docletpath ejbgen.jar -doclet weblogic.tools.ejbgen.EJBGen request/* where the dir request contains two files RequestDataManager.java RequestResearch.java. Problem is it gives me the following error message: In doclet class weblogic.tools.ejbgen.EJBGen, method start has thrown an exception java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException weblogic tools.ejbgen.EJBGenException: EJB class name RequestDataManager doesnt match the -ejbPrefix/-ejbSuffix options '' 'Bean' I added Bean to the name creating RequestDataManagerBean and got a differant error message . [RequestDataManagerBean] Error:Mandatory tag:[Tag:ejbgen:session (claass)] not found. Thanks for any help.
