Creating Local and Remote Interfaces
Local and remote interfaces are used to provide access to the bean from the calling clients, and are defined for the following types of beans:
IntelliJ IDEA provides the following ways to create local and remote interfaces:
- Manually, by means of direct editing the
ejb-jar.xml
file, using the extensive coding assistance provided by IntelliJ IDEA. - Using the context menu commands.
To define local and remote interfaces of an enterprise bean using the editor
- Open the deployment descriptor file
ejb-jar.xml
for editing. - In the
<entity>
section, create tag<local>
, or<remote>
and type the name of the desired interface. Note that you can specify the target package in this tag, for example,samples.ejb.ManuallyCreatedEntityLocalInterface
, using code completion after each dot. - If the declared class does not yet exist, IntelliJ IDEA suggests a quick fix.
Choose from the suggestion list.
If the target package was not defined in the
<ejb-class>
tag, select the desired package in the Choose Destination Directory dialog box. The stub class is created in the specified location.
To configure local and remote interfaces
- Open the New Bean dialog box.
- If you need to configure remote client view of a bean, select the Remote Interface check box.
- If you need to configure local client view of a bean, select the Local Interface check box.
