Netbeans 6.0 and JBOSS 4.2.1GA

[fakhreldeen]

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

Hi,
JBoss 4.2 is not Java EE 5 certified container. It supports some Java EE
5 technologies. It can't deploy Java EE 5 EAR project for example (the
fact that the EE 5 EAR was allowed in nb5.5 was a bug).

So you should be able to create EE 5 ejb and war, but not ear. EE 5 war
support was fixed recently so you should use latest netbeans build if
you need EE 5 war or optionally latest jboss plugin build from daily
update center.
