[SCBCD 1.3] tables names for CMP entity beans

[Celinio Fernandes]

hi,
I am just a bit surprised that there is not any trace in the deployment descriptor ejb-jar.xml of the way CMP entity beans know where to look at exactly in the database. I mean the names of the tables have to be specified in the application server deployment descriptor.
For instance with Jonas, inside jonas-ejb-jar.xml, you use the tag

 <jdbc-table-name>teachers</jdbc-table-name> 

to link a CMP entity bean with a table. So, it is container vendor specific.

How come there is no such tag in ejb-jar.xml ?

I think it's vendor specific. If you use Sun Java System Application Server, there's a DD called sun-cmp-mapping.xml that gives you all the mapping information.
