You can use a wizard to create
a session bean with XDoclet annotation support and add it to your
project.
Before you begin
Before you can create a session
bean with XDoclet annotation support, you must:
Procedure
- In the Java™ EE perspective,
click . Select and click Next.
- Select Session Bean and click Next.
- Select the Project that will contain
the new session bean.
- In the Folder field, select the
folder for the new bean.
- In the Java package field, enter
the package name for the new bean.
- In the Class name field, type a
name for the enterprise bean. By convention, bean names begin with
an uppercase letter.
Note: You can use Unicode characters
for the bean name, but Unicode characters are not supported for enterprise
bean packages and classes associated with enterprise beans.
- Optional: Change the Superclass for
the bean if you want it to inherit from a class other than java.lang.Object and
click Next.
- Provide an EJB Name for the bean. This is the name of the enterprise bean class. The next three
fields are automatically supplied, you can change these values if
you want:
- JNDI Name is the logical name used by the
server to locate an enterprise bean at runtime.
- Display Name is a short name for the enterprise
bean that is used by tools.
- Description is to help you identify the
bean.
- Select the State type for the new
bean:
- A Stateful session bean maintains client-specific
session information, or conversational state, across multiple method
calls and transactions. An instance of a stateful session bean has
a unique identity that is assigned by the container at create time.
- A Stateless session bean does not maintain
conversational state. Instances of a stateless session bean have no
conversational state. All instances of a stateless session bean have
the same object identifier, which is assigned by the container.
- Select a Transaction Type for the
new bean:
- Container specifies that the transaction
demarcation is performed by the container.
- Bean specifies that the transaction demarcation
is performed by the bean.
Click Next.
- Select the type of Modifiers to
use for the class.
- Optional: Select the Interfaces you
want the bean to implement. Click Add to select
interfaces that you want to implement and click Remove to
take away interfaces that you no longer want to implement.
- Select the method stubs that you want the wizard to create.
- Click Finish to add the new bean
to the specified EJB project.
