Create EJB exports
You can use IBM Integration Designer to expose SCA components using an export with an EJB binding so that external Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition applications can invoke those components using the EJB programming model.
From IBM Integration Designer, you can create an EJB export in the following ways:
- Use the External Service Discovery wizard.
- Use the Inbound Exports drawer in the assembly editor.
If that you cannot use drag from the business integration view to add EJB exports to assembly diagrams in the assembly editor. Once you have created a service with an EJB binding, a client accessing this service must run in a client, web or EJB container for the dynamically downloaded stubs at run time to be accessible (see EJB clients).
The following topics describe concepts and step-by-step instructions for creating EJB exports using IBM Integration Designer:
- Create EJB exports using the external service wizard
You can use the external service wizard in IBM Integration Designer to create an EJB export. The external service wizard is a tool used to create services based on criteria that you provide. It then generates business objects, interfaces, and import files based on the services discovered.
- Create EJB exports using the assembly editor
You can create an EJB export within an assembly diagram using IBM Integration Designer's assembly editor.
