Use the Edit an Access Bean wizard to change existing access beans.
To edit an access bean:
In the Project Explorer view, right-click the deployment descriptor
for the EJB project that contains the enterprise bean for which you want to
edit an access bean.
From the pop-up menu, select Access Beans > Edit Access Beans. The Access Bean Edit
wizard opens.
In the Enterprise Bean field, make sure
that the correct name of the enterprise bean appears for which you want to
edit an access bean, then click Next.
In the Access Bean field, select the access
bean that you want to edit, then click Next.
Choose from one of the following three steps:
If you are editing a data class access bean, a wizard page is opened
that allows you to change enterprise bean properties. Ensure that the checkbox
is selected for each enterprise bean property for which you would like to
have copy helper support, then click Finish to immediately
update the data class access bean. (To identify the enterprise bean properties
that are selectable for the data class access bean, the wizard performs introspection
of the enterprise bean using the EJB specification rules for detecting getter
and setter accessors. If either the getter or setter method in the enterprise
bean class throws an exception, the property will not be recognized and the
wizard will not display it. This is a WebSphere® Studio requirement rather
than an EJB specification requirement.)
If you are editing a Java™ bean wrapper access bean, a wizard
page is opened that allows you to specify a home interface method to correspond
to the zero argument constructor of the access bean. (For instance, if you
want to use the zero argument constructor to create a new instance, you should
select a create method, but if you want the zero argument constructor to find
an existing instance, you should select a findByPrimaryKey method. The home
interface method that you select is used to instantiate the enterprise bean
when the access bean is instantiated.) In the Constructor method field,
ensure that the correct home interface method is selected and then click Finish to
immediately update the Java bean wrapper.
If you are editing a copy helper access bean, a wizard page is opened
that allows you to specify a home interface method to correspond to the zero
argument constructor of the access bean. (For instance, if you want to use
the zero argument constructor to create a new instance, you should select
a create method, but if you want the zero argument constructor to find an
existing instance, then should select a findByPrimaryKey method. The home
interface method that you select is used to instantiate the enterprise bean
when the access bean is instantiated.) In the Constructor method field,
ensure that the correct home interface method is selected and then click Next.
A wizard page is opened that allows you to choose enterprise bean properties
for which you want copy helper support.
Make sure that the check box is selected for each enterprise bean
property for which you would like to have copy helper support, then click Finish to
update the copy helper access bean.
