Creating enterprise beans with XDoclet annotation support

After you create an EJB project, you can add enterprise beans to the EJB project in one of the following ways:

• Create new enterprise beans.
• Import enterprise beans from EJB JAR files.

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.

With the wizard, you can create three types of enterprise beans: session beans and message-driven beans (EJB 2.0 or later projects only):

• Create a session bean. For more information, see Creating session beans with XDoclet annotation support.
• Create a CMP entity bean. For more information, see Creating container-managed persistence (CMP) entity beans with XDoclet annotation support.
• Create a message-driven bean. For more information, see Creating message-driven beans with XDoclet annotation support.
