Changing enterprise bean types to initialize at application start time using the Application Server Toolkit

Why and when to perform this task

By default, the WebSphere Application Server's Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) Container delays the initialization (loading and processing) of most EJB types until they are needed during runtime. This helps to speed up the application start time.

EJB types can, however, be forced to initialize at application start time by setting a flag within the bean's deployment descriptor. If this flag is set to true then the bean is initialized at application start time.

Steps for this task

  1. Start the Application Server Toolkit.
  2. Select EJB Deployment Descriptor.
  3. In the property pane, select the WebSphere Extensions tab.
  4. Check the box labeled Start EJB at Application Start.
  5. Select OK.
