EJB JNDI names for beans
Use this page to view and modify the JNDI names of non-message-driven enterprise beans in the application or module.
If the application uses EJB 2.1 and earlier modules, on the Provide JNDI names for beans panel, specify a JNDI name for each enterprise bean in every EJB 2.1 and earlier module. Specify a JNDI name for every EJB 2.1 and earlier enterprise bean defined in the application. For example, for the EJB module MyBean.jar, specify MyBean.
The JNDI name for an EJB module can be used for both EJB 3.x modules and pre-EJB 3.0 modules. For a pre-EJB 3.0 module, provide a JNDI name for the bean. For an EJB 3.x module, we have three options
- Provide no JNDI names at all
- Select the radio button to provide a JNDI name for the bean, or
- Select the radio button to provide local or remote home JNDI names.
If no JNDI name is provided, the run time provides a default value. If JNDI name for the bean is provided, we cannot provide any JNDI name for business interface in the Provide JNDI names for business interfaces panel. To view this console page, click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application > EJB JNDI names.
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.
