Introduction Main goal of Enterprise Java Bean (EJB) architecture is to free the application developer from having to deal with the system level aspects of an application. This allows the bean developer to focus solely on the logic of the application. 12/24/2021 B. Ramamurthy 2

Parts of EJB class that implements the business methods and life cycle methods; uses other helper classes and libraries to implement. Client-view API: consists of EJB home interface and remote interface. n n Home interface: controls life cycle : create, remove, find methods Remote interface: to invoke the EJB object methods 12/24/2021 B.

Parts of EJB (contd. ) Deployment Descriptor: XML document for bean assembler and deployer; n A declaration about EJB environment needed for customizing the bean to the operating environment. Container Runtime services include: transactions, security, distribution, load balancing, multithreading, persistence, failure recovery, resource pooling, state amnagement, clustering. . 12/24/2021 B.

Naming Convention EJB class is a descriptive name of the business entity or process with the word Bean appended. Ex: Account. Bean Home interface is same as business entity name with the word “Home” appended. Ex: Account. Home Remote interface is just the name of the entity. Ex: Account The name of the entire EJB (reference in deployment descriptor) is same as the enity name with EJB appended. Ex: Account. EJB 12/24/2021 B. Ramamurthy 5

Enterprise Bean Parts <<Home Interface>> Account. Home <<Remote Interface>> Account debit() credit() get. Balance() create() find() remove() <<Enterrpise Bean class> Account. Bean ejb. Create() ejb. Find() ejb. Remove() debit() credit() get. Balance() 12/24/2021 Deployment Descriptor name = Account. EJB class = Account. Bean home = Account. Home remote = Account type = Entity transaction = required …. . B. Ramamurthy 6
