Task overview: Using enterprise beans in applications

This article provides an overview of the tasks you must perform to use enterprise beans in a Java-based application.

About this task

Use the following steps to develop an EJB application:

Procedure

  1. Design a Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) application and the enterprise beans that it needs. For links to design information that is specific to enterprise beans, see Data access: Resources for learning .
  2. Develop any enterprise beans that your application uses.
  3. Prepare for assembly. For your EJB 2.x-compliant entity beans, decide on an appropriate access intent policy.
  4. Assemble the beans into one or more EJB modules using one of the assembly tools. This process includes setting security. For your EJB 2.x-compliant entity beans, you might also want to designate container-managed persistence (CMP) sequence groups.
  5. Assemble the modules into a J2EE application using the assembly tool.
  6. For a given application server, update the EJB container configuration if needed for the application to be deployed.
  7. For a given application server, update the EJB container configuration if needed for the application to be deployed, and determine if you want to batch commands or defer commands for container-managed persistence.
  8. Deploy the application in an application server.
  9. Test the modules.
  10. Assemble the production application using one of the assembly tools
  11. Deploy the application to a production environment.
  12. Manage the application:
    1. Manage installed EJB modules. After an application has been installed, you can manage its EJB modules individually through assembly tools.
    2. Manage other aspects of the Java application.
  13. Update the module and redeploy it using one of the assembly tools.
  14. Tune the performance of the application. See Best practices for developing enterprise beans.
