Creating an application profile

Why and when to perform this task

An application profile contains a set of access intent policies applied to an application's entity beans. The access intent policies are only applied for requests that are associated with tasks configured on the application profile.

Steps for this task

  1. Start the Application Server Toolkit.
  2. Optional: Open the J2EE perspective to work with J2EE projects. Click Window > Open Perspective > Other > J2EE.
  3. Optional: Open the Project Explorer view. Click Window > Show View > Project Explorer. Another helpful view is the Navigator view (Window > Show View > Navigator).
  4. Create a new application EAR file or edit an existing one.
    For example, to change attributes of an existing application, use the import wizard to import an EAR file. To start the import wizard:
    1. Select File > Import > EAR file > Next
    2. Select the EAR file.
    3. Create a WebSphere Application Server v6.0 type of Server Runtime. Select New to open the New Server Runtime Wizard and follow the instructions.
    4. In the Target server field, select WebSphere Application Server V6.0 type of Server Runtime.
    5. Select Finish
  5. In the Project Explorer view of the J2EE perspective, right-click the Deployment Descriptor: EJB Module Name under the EJB module for the bean instance, then select Open With > Deployment Descriptor Editor. A property dialog notebook for the EJB project is displayed in the property pane.
  6. In the property pane, select the Extended Access tab.
  7. Beneath the Application Profiles table, select Add...
  8. Select or type the name of the task for which this profile applies. You cannot map the task to any other profile within the module. The task name should have been configured already as a task on a web component (container managed task, application managed task), an application client (container managed task, application managed task), or the method of an EJB (container managed task, application managed task).
  9. Optional: Specify a description of the task.
  10. Select Next.
  11. Select the entities that are enlisted in the unit of work represented by the application profile. You can add additional entities as a separate task after the profile has been created.
  12. Select Finish.
