[Ejbca-develop] BasePropertyBean

[Stephane B. <ste...@be...>]

I think I will remove this bean and push up all the methods.

I'm banging my head to find a solution to keep it how it is done right 
now, but frankly I have too many issues to solve and this is not worth 
spending the time on it, especially as it is used only in one place: 
HardTokenPropertyEntityBean.

XDoclet generates a create() method only for a concrete bean (which 
makes sense in a way and not if we think of it as some kind of factory 
method in the superclass)
It will also generates a JNDI_NAME and COMP_NAME in the home interface 
(only for a concrete bean of course).

Covariant return type do not exists in Java and XDoclet creates  return 
type matching the local interface of the entity bean for the finders 
method in the home interface, this will of course conflicts with the 
superinterface that return the base class.

I cannot avoid not generating the interface and use only the super 
interface otherwise it does not generate the home interface.

This is somewhat related to issue XDT-120 in Jira but there is no chance 
to have something like this before the year 2043. Annotations will be 
used next year, so it's not worth it.

Maybe someone got an idea how to fix it, but I don't. If you do, please 
speakup.
