Why and when to perform this task
In the Assembly Toolkit, you can create and test enterprise beans that conform to the distributed component architecture defined in the Sun Microsystems Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) specification and that support extended functionality for WebSphere Application Server.You can create enterprise beans (either with or without inheritance) such as session beans, container-managed persistence (CMP) entity beans, bean-managed persistence (BMP) entity beans, or message-driven beans. Using the EJB deployment descriptor editor of the Assembly Toolkit, you can set deployment descriptor and assembly properties for enterprise beans.
This article describes how to create an EJB project (or EJB module) using the Assembly Toolkit.
