[Xdoclet-user] xdoclet- mvn2 dilemma when generating sources

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

hi all,
  i m currently using xdoclet for generating sources for my EJBs..
problem is, my project is a Multi-Project..... its structure is as follows

MyProject
     |____ EJB1
     |____ EJB2

i m generating sources for both EJB1 project and EJB2 project
issue is that one of the beans in EJB2 has to have a reference to one
of the beans of EJB1.

for example, in EJB1 i have a bean named 'Contact', and in EJB2 one of the
ejbs
has a reference to my 'Contact' bean

when generating sources in EJB2, XDoclete raises the following error

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Error executing ant tasks

Embedded error: Unexpected error
No such EJB defined: Contact
