Procedure 7.5. Add Session Beans to a Project in JBoss Developer Studio

1. Open the Project

   Open the project in JBoss Developer Studio.

   Figure 7.7. Create EJB 3.x Session Bean wizard

3. Specify class information

   Supply the following details:
   • Project
     Verify the correct project is selected.
   • Source folder
     This is the folder that the Java source files will be created in. This should not usually need to be changed.
   • Package
     Specify the package that the class belongs to.
   • Class name
     Specify the name of the class that will be the session bean.
   • Superclass
     The session bean class can inherit from a super class. Specify that here if your session has a super class.
   • State type
     Specify the state type of the session bean: stateless, stateful, or singleton.
   • Business Interfaces
     By default the No-interface box is checked so no interfaces will be created. Check the boxes for the interfaces you wish to define and adjust the names if necessary.
     Remember that enterprise beans in a web archive (WAR) only support EJB 3.1 Lite and this does not include remote business interfaces.
   Click Next.

4. Session Bean Specific Information

   You can enter in additional information here to further customize the session bean. It is not required to change any of the information here.
   Items that you can change are:
   • Bean name.
   • Mapped name.
   • Transaction type (Container managed or Bean managed).
   • Additional interfaces can be supplied that the bean must implement.
   • You can also specify EJB 2.x Home and Component interfaces if required.

5. Finish

   Click Finish and the new session bean will be created and added to the project. The files for any new business interfaces will also be created if they were specified.
