Bind EJB business settings
Use this console page to specify Java Naming and Directory (JNDI) name bindings for each enterprise bean with a business interface in an EJB module. Each enterprise bean with a business interface in an EJB module must be bound to a JNDI name. For any business interface that does not provide a JNDI name, or if its bean does not provide a JNDI name, a default binding name is provided. If its bean provides a JNDI name, the default JNDI name for the business interface is provided on top of its bean JNDI name by appending the package-qualified class name of the interface.
If we specify the JNDI name for a bean in the Provide JNDI names for beans page, do not specify any business interface JNDI name in this page for the same bean. If we do not specify the JNDI name for a bean in the Provide JNDI names for beans page, we can optionally specify a business interface JNDI name. If we do not specify a business interface JNDI name, the run time provides a container default.
To view this page in the console, click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name > Bind EJB business.
If any value is modified on this page, all of the metadata files related to the application are refreshed in the configuration repository.
If an application is running, changing an application setting causes the application to restart. On stand-alone servers, the application restarts after you save the change. On multiple-server products, the application restarts after you save the change and files synchronize on the node where the application is installed. To control when synchronization occurs on multiple-server products, deselect Synchronize changes with nodes on the Console preferences page.
Module
Specifies the EJB module containing the enterprise beans that bind to the JNDI name.
Bean

URI
The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) specifies the location of the module archive relative to the root of the application EAR.
Business Interface
Enterprise bean business interface in an EJB module.
