I have downloaded JBOSS 4.2.1GA and added it as a server to my Netbeans environment. The reason I need 4.2.1 and not 5 is because I have purchased a hosting plan that has 4.2.1 as the hosting server, therfore, I would like my development environment, and my deployment environmen to be the same. However, when I try to create an Enterprise Application, by following the example in the following link
http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/ejb30-jboss.html#Exercise_0 i don't have the Java EE 5 as the Java EE version to choose, instead I only have the J2EE Version. I have done some reading, and all what I have found says that JBOSS 4.2.1 is Java EE 5 ready, so why can I not create a Java EE 5 Enterprise Application. I can however create an EJB Module that is a Java EE 5 module, but then how do I import the Entity Beans created in that module to the servlets created in a seperate WAR module. And why is Netbeans only allowing me to choose J2EE for the Java version rather than Java EE 5.
any help is appreciated
thank you
Sam
