6.6.0.5.6: Converting EJB JAR files from 1.0 to 1.1 format

The Application Assembly Tool can convert an EJB 1.0 (serialized) deployment descriptor to an EJB 1.1 XML deployment descriptor. However, some code changes are required to make your EJB 1.0 application comply with the J2EE specification.

To convert a JAR file containing enterprise beans that conform to the 1.0 EJB specification, do the following:

  1. Click File->Open to read the JAR file into the Application Assembly Tool. You are prompted whether to make the conversion.

  2. Save the JAR file by clicking File->Save As. Specify a new name for the JAR file. An EJB module containing the converted JAR file is automatically created.

The resulting JAR file contains the following .xml and .xmi files instead of the original .ser files. Old information is mapped to the XML format of the EJB 1.1 specification.

  • META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

  • META-INF/ejb-jar.xml

  • META-INF/ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xmi

  • META-INF/ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xmi
