EJB 3.0 and EJB 2.1 Integration

[nir ghosh]

I am trying to use EJB3.0 Application call from EJB 2.1 Application with JBoss 4.2.3 with eclipse hellios EJB Project and JPA facets added.

I have generated entities from tables.

I have put java jars and ejb ear in jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy and restarted the server.

I am trying to solve for last whole week but couldnt solve please solve the problem.
Mainly,Alternatively if I can get a working code for EJB2.1 session bean calling EJB 3.0 entity bean sample project to [e-mail] and [e-mail] then it would be great help.

Thanks

I believe, EJB2.1 and EJB3 are completely different specifications and may not be compatible with each other.

I know am a bit late but still for others who wander over here...

J2EE 5 specification is backward compatible with Ejb 2.1 and as such you can have both defined within a single application.xml file.
