Generating deployment descriptors for WebSphere managed beans bindings
You can generate deployment descriptors for WebSphere managed beans bindings for your enterprise applications and web projects. The deployment descriptors are automatically added to the new ibm-managed-beans-bnd.xml file, which you can open in the Managed Beans Bindings Editor.
Before you begin
Ensure that one or more of the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), web, or application client facets are enabled, and that you did not already generate an ibm-managed-beans-bnd.xml file for your application project. If at least one of the EJB, web, or application client facets is not enabled, or if an ibm-managed-beans-bnd.xml file exists, then you cannot generate an ibm-managed-beans-bnd.xml file.
About this task
Deployment descriptors for WebSphere managed beans bindings map the name that is used in the environment context to the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name. The name that is used in the environment context is specified in the bean code. The JNDI name points to a resource available in a container. You can generate deployment descriptors for WebSphere managed beans binding for both enterprise applications and web projects.
