Assembly descriptor in ejb-jar.xml not generated when upgrading from 1.2b3 to 1.2.3

Hi,

I want to upgrade XDoclet from version 1.2b3 to 1.2.3 to get to the
<mdb> tag, but when I do, the assembly descriptor part of the
ejb-jar.xml file is no longer generated. I have googled and checked
the list, but have found precious little on any assembly descriptor
problems.

The ejb-jar.xml is generated by the ant snippet:

    <target name="xdoclet.deploymentdescriptor"
        depends="init"
        description="Generate deployment descriptor for EJBs.">

        <copy overwrite="true" todir="${module.build.dir}/mergedir"
filtering="true">
            <fileset dir="${module.etc.dir}/xdoclet" includes="*.xml"/>
            <filterset>
                <filtersfile file="${global.filters.filename}"/>
            </filterset>
        </copy>
        <ejbdoclet
            destdir="${module.build.autosrc.dir}"
            ejbspec="2.0"
            ejbClassNameSuffix="Impl,Bean"
            mergeDir="${module.build.dir}/mergedir"
            verbose="true">
            <fileset dir="${module.src.dir}">
                <include name="${xdoclet.pattern}"/>
                <exclude name="**/Abstract*"/>
            </fileset>
            <packageSubstitution packages="impl" substituteWith="interfaces"/>
            <deploymentdescriptor destdir="${module.hotjar.dir}/META-INF"/>
        </ejbdoclet>
    </target>


I do not know if it is relevant, but we run xdoclet several times in
our build. However, the above target is the only one to generate a
deployment descriptor.

In 1.2b3 the following is generated in the ejb-jar.xml file:

   <!-- Assembly Descriptor -->
   <assembly-descriptor >
      <security-role>
         <description><![CDATA[description not supported yet by
ejbdoclet]]></description>
         <role-name>IServiceRole</role-name>
      </security-role>
      [snip]
      <method-permission >
         <description><![CDATA[description not supported yet by
ejbdoclet]]></description>
         <role-name>kuo</role-name>
         <role-name>kuosystem</role-name>
         <role-name>KungUngOleRole</role-name>
         <method >
            <description><![CDATA[description not supported yet by
ejbdoclet]]></description>
            <ejb-name>KungUngOleService</ejb-name>
            <method-name>*</method-name>
         </method>
      </method-permission>
      [snip]
         <container-transaction >
          <method >
           <ejb-name>KungUngOleService</ejb-name>
           <method-name>*</method-name>
           </method>
           <trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute>
         </container-transaction>
      [snip]
   </assembly-descriptor >

In 1.2.3 there is no assembly descriptor, but just the comment:

   <!-- Assembly Descriptor -->


Does anybody know whether the handling of the assembly descriptor was
changed between 1.2b3 and 1.2.3? Any ideas for further experiments are
much appreciated. I am new to XDoclet, so I have only tried to change
the mergedir and the ejbspec version.
