EJB Group from Descriptors wizard

This is a feature of JBuilder Enterprise.
The EJB Group from Descriptors wizard creates an EJB group using the deployment descriptors of existing Inprise Application Server enterprise beans. An EJB group is a logical grouping of one or more beans that will be deployed in a single JAR file. When you finish the wizard, the new EJB group appears in the project pane with an .ejbgrp extension.

To display the wizard, choose File|New, click the Enterprise tab in the object gallery, and double-click the EJB Group from Descriptors icon.

Step 1

Name

Specify a name for your new EJB group. The name can be anything of your choosing.

Output jar file

The JAR file is created when you build the EJB group after you've defined one more beans; it then appears as a node under the EJB group in the project pane.

Name

The name of the JAR file that is created. By default, the name of the JAR file is the name of the EJB group with a .jar file extension, but you can change the name of the JAR file if you wish.

Path

Specify the location of the JAR file that is created when the EJB group is built.

Step 2

Directory

Navigate to the directory where the existing deployment descriptors reside, or simply type in the name of the directory. The Finish button is disabled until you find a directory that contains deployment descriptors. When you are through using the wizard, the EJB group is made up of the deployment descriptors that are in this specified directory.

Descriptors in directory

Displays a list of the deployment descriptors in the directory you specified in the Directory field.
