Developing entity beans

Subtopics

• Define data sources for entity beans
  An application installed on an application server must have bindings defined before we can start the application. The EJB references and resource references defined in the application must be bound to the actual enterprise beans or resources defined in the application server.

• Lightweight local operational mode for entity beans
  WebSphere Application Server provides a special operational mode called lightweight local mode, which can improve the performance of entity bean methods. We can decide which entity beans in the application to run in this mode.

• Apply lightweight local mode to an entity bean
  WebSphere Application Server provides a special operation mode called lightweight local mode, which can improve the performance of entity bean methods. We can decide which entity beans in the application to run in this mode.

• Develop read-only entity beans
  In addition to the existing EJB caching options, we can develop read-only entity beans.
