I cannot express how strongly I recommend that you use jpa rather
than cmp for any project you have any control over, such as new
development.
I believe the xdoclet stuff you refer to doesn't work at all with
geronimo-openejb, I think it is for openejb 1 which is not integrated
with geronimo. In any case using ejb 3.0 with annotations is a much
better solution.
