An enterprise bean is a managed Java component that can be combined with other
resources to create Java Enterprise
Edition (Java EE) applications.
Before you begin
This topic assumes that you have created and unit tested an
enterprise bean that you want to assemble in an enterprise application
and deploy onto an application server.
Procedure
Assemble an EJB 3.x module to contain enterprise beans
and related code artifacts. Group web components, client
code, and resource adapter code in separate modules. After the EJB
module is assembled, install it as a stand-alone application or combine
it with other modules into an enterprise application.
To learn about
how to assemble an EJB 3.x module with an assembly tool, see the Rational® Application Developer
documentation.
Rational Application Developer can be extended
with additional plug-ins to provide development support specifically
for Java Persistence API (JPA).
See
the Eclipse open source project, Dali, for a plug-in that provides
this extension. See the related links in this topic for the Dali JPA
tools website.
Note: Issues and problems using this plug-in need to
resolved through the Eclipse open source community.
What to do next
Deploy the EJB module.
