| <h1 class="topictitle1">Creating an EJB client JAR project</h1> |
| <div><p>You can create an EJB client JAR project for an existing EJB project.</p> |
| <div class="section"> <p>If you have an existing EJB project that currently does not take |
| advantage of the EJB client JAR specification and tooling, you can quickly |
| create an EJB client JAR project for the EJB project. The EJB client JAR project |
| is exported as an EJB client JAR file when the application is exported.</p> |
| <p>When |
| you create an EJB Client JAR project for an existing EJB project, all Java™ JAR |
| dependencies are updated appropriately. In other words, all Java project |
| references on the Java build paths and the MANIFEST class path entries |
| are modified. The EJB client JAR is added as a utility JAR to any EAR projects |
| that include the EJB project. Any remote and local client interfaces are moved |
| from the EJB project to the EJB client JAR project. The interfaces are moved |
| to the new project, which is categorized in the Project Explorer under <span class="uicontrol">Other |
| projects</span>.</p> |
| <p>To create an EJB client JAR project for an existing |
| EJB project:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Project Explorer view of the J2EE perspective, right-click |
| the EJB module, and select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">EJB Client JAR</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Create EJB Client JAR Project</span></span> from the |
| pop-up menu. The EJB Client JAR Creation wizard opens.</span></li> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">Client JAR URI</span> field, type a name |
| for the EJB client JAR file. For this URI value, you need to enter a value |
| relative to the EJB JAR file with an EAR file.</span></li> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">Name</span> field, type a name for the EJB |
| client JAR project.</span></li> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>To change the default <span class="uicontrol">Project location</span>, |
| click the <span class="uicontrol">Browse</span> button to select a new location.</span> If you specify a non-default project location that is already being |
| used by another project, the project creation will fail.</li> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">Finish</span>.</span></li> |
| </ol> |
| <div class="section">The EJB client JAR project is created, any remote and local interface |
| classes are moved to the EJB client JAR project, class paths are updated with |
| appropriate references, and the EJB client JAR project is added as a project |
| utility JAR file to any enterprise application (EAR) project that includes |
| the EJB project.<div class="important"><span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> If you use the Export EJB JAR file wizard to export an EJB |
| project, the export wizard does not include an EJB project's associated EJB |
| client JAR project. To include the EJB client JAR file, it is recommended |
| that you export the enterprise application EAR file that contains the EJB |
| project. The resulting EAR file will include any dependent EJB client JAR |
| files as utility JAR files. Alternatively, you can <a href="teclientjarremove.html">remove |
| the EJB client JAR file</a> before exporting the EJB project, or export |
| the EJB client JAR project separately as a JAR file. </div> |
| <div class="restriction"><span class="restrictiontitle">Restriction:</span> <span>If you want to create |
| an EJB client JAR project for an existing EJB project that has already been |
| deployed, you must first manually delete all deployment code from the EJB |
| project. After the deployment code is deleted from the EJB project, you can |
| create the EJB client JAR project and redeploy the EJB project.</span></div> |
