How to run OpenEJB Examples?

[Siegfried Heintze]

I downloaded the stuff at http://openejb.apache.org/download.html and started the openejb standalone server.

I then tried following the instructions at http://openejb.apache.org/3.0/simple-stateless-example.html

I cannot get anything to run. I have maven 2.1 installed. I cannot find any instructions that say I have to define symbols like OPENEJB_HOME.


I'm using cygwin on XP. Adding the openejb directory to the classpath did not seem to help.

I saw a build.xml file and tried ant but that did not work either! I believe I have the latest Java 1.6 SDK.

Can someone kindly tell me how to make these examples run! Thanks!

This line looks highly suspect. First off, in the classpath you can't use wildcards - you need to list each and every jar file individually. And secondly, you don't need to set the classpath for running Maven - it does all that by itself.

What happens if you just type "mvn clean install"? I just downloaded the examples, typed that line, and -after downloading a large number of artifacts- it did exactly what the instructions said it'd do (build and install the example, that is).

Problem fixed by renaming the local maven repository to save.m2. Thanks!
