I was trying to update my apps and I broke it, the OIDGenerator that is. I was using jboss 4.0.2 and had gotten everything else updated and didn't do my homework. when I upgraded to jboss 4.2.1 it flat quit working. I should have double-checked what the differences were between the two - like EJB 2 vs EJB 3. Oh well, I'll have to get back to it at a later date, luckily for me it's not critical that I get it working tonight. Sorry for any inconveniences I've caused.
20080402: Whew, that was a lot of work just to upgrade to the latest (possible) jboss. What I needed to do is recompile my java classes using two of the latest libraries from the jboss-all client libraries (which I can't recall at this particular moment). That and using the latest mysql-connector took care of my problem. I should be more careful next time and do this on a development site rather than my public site. Oh, wait a minute, this is my development site.
Thanks again,
Tom
