You
can use a wizard to create a session bean with XDoclet annotation support
and add it to your project.
Before you can create a session bean
with XDoclet annotation support, you must:
To create a session bean with XDoclet support:
- In the J2EE perspective, click . The Create
an Enterprise Bean wizard appears.
- Select the SessionBean radio button.
- 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 should 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.
- Change the Superclass for the bean if you
want it to inherit from a class other than java.lang.Object
- Click Next.
- Provide an EJB Name for the bean. This is
the name of the enterprise bean class.
- Provide an JNDI Name for the bean. This
is a logical name used by the server to locate an enterprise bean at runtime.
- Provide an Display Name for the bean. This
is a short name for the enterprise bean that is used by tools.
- Provide a text Description for 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. Choices are Public, Abstract,
and Final.
- Select the Interfaces you want the bean
to implement:
- Click the Add button to open the Type Selection
dialog box where you can select the interface that you want to implement.
- If you added an interface that you no longer want to implement, select
the interface in the list and click Remove.
- Select the method stubs that you want the wizard to create. Choices
include main, Inherited abstract methods, and Constructors from the superclass.
- Click Finish. The new bean is added to the
specified EJB project.
