| the method.</p><div class="skipspace"><div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note: </span>The import statement added to the interface class when you |
| promoted the method will not be removed from the interface class when you |

| Problems view if this warning level is turned on in the Preferences.</div> |
| <p>To |
| demote a method that was previously promoted to an interface:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li><span>Select the Java file that contains the promoted method, |
| and open the file in the Java editor.</span></li> |
| <li><span>In the Outline view, right-click the business method that you want |
| to demote, and select the appropriate option, depending on the interface that |
| you are demoting it from:</span><ul><li><span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Enterprise Bean</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Demote |
| from Local Interface</span></span></li> |
| <li><span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Enterprise Bean</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Demote |
| from Local Home Interface</span></span></li> |
| <li><span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Enterprise Bean</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Demote |

| <li><span>Save your changes and close the Java editor.</span></li> |
