Is there a substitute for xdoclet that supports generics?

Question

I have an old EJB (2.1) project that uses xdoclet (1.2.3) to generate the EJB interfaces. Unfortunately xdoclet makes it impossible to use generics in the method signatures.

Is there a substitute or other way to to allow generics in the parameters?

Here is the minimum type of generics use I'm looking for:

 public Object ejbMethod(Collection<String> param) { return null;}

Of course the more the better.

Answer 1

You might want to check XDT-1581, it has an (unreleased) patch for support of generics in the xdoclet EJB module. I didn't test it though.

PS: AFAIK, XDoclet 2 (which has an Ejb plugin) has support for generics.

Answer 2

Try replacing xjavadoc-1.x.jar with the latest in the library. ( Moving from xjavadoc-1.1.jar to xjavadoc-1.5.jar worked for me)
