<prereq><p>Before you can create an enterprise bean, you must:</p><ul> | |
<li>Define an EJB project to contain the enterprise bean. See <xref href="tecrtpro.dita"></xref>.</li> | |
<li>Install XDoclet annotation support and enable it. See <xref href="txdocletconf.dita"></xref>.</li> | |
</ul></prereq> | |
<context> <p> After you create an EJB project, you can add enterprise beans | |
to the EJB project in one of the following ways: </p><ul> | |
<li>Create new enterprise beans.</li> | |
<li>Import enterprise beans from EJB JAR files.</li> | |
</ul><p>A wizard helps you to create enterprise beans. You can use the Enterprise | |
Bean Creation wizard to generate an enterprise bean while avoiding the complexities | |
that exist between the different types of beans. The wizard helps you add | |
enterprise beans to you project by creating entirely new enterprise beans.</p><p>With | |
the wizard, you can create three types of enterprise beans: session beans | |
and message-driven beans (EJB 2.0 or later projects only): </p><ul> | |
<li>Create a session bean. For more information, see <xref href="tesessb.dita"></xref>.</li> | |
<li>Create a CMP entity bean. For more information, see <xref href="teentityb.dita"></xref>.</li> | |
<li>Create a message-driven bean. For more information, see <xref href="temessb.dita"></xref>.</li> | |
