 /servlet : contains servlet source files 

 /resources : contains resource files for XDoclet 

 /web : contains the JSP pages for your web application 

After the run the build system for the first time you will also have a  /build  directory which 

contains: 

 /bin : contains the final script files to run a Java client if available 

 /classes : compiled classes (both yours and generated Java classes) 

 /deploy : contains the files which will be deployed automatically to your JBoss 3.0 

distribution 

 /generate : contains all the Java files which are generated by XDoclet. You can use 

them to see what XDoclet generated and to find problems if the generated source is 

not correct 

 /META INF : contains all the generated deployment descriptors by XDoclet. 

 /war : to be defined 

How to Code in the Template 

The template comes already with a template application EJBs, web application, Java client 

and you can take them and adjust or you can create your own project but you should follow 

the directory structure and use XDoclet to generate the redundant files. 

Most likely you want to add you own package structure and that is not a problem because 

under  /main/client ,  /main/ejb  or  /main/servlet  you can use any directory structure you 

like but must not add client code to another directory than  /main/client  and the same 

applies for EJBs and servlets. 

Create EJBs 

Write regular EJB implementation but for Entity Beans with CMP only create abstract 

getter and setter methods for the table attributes 

Write the XDoclet class level tags like this example 

 * @ejb:bean name="test/Manager" 

 *           display name="Manager working on projects to support clients" 

 *           type="CMP"
