An enterprise bean is a managed Java component that can be combined with other resources to create Java EE applications.
This topic assumes that we have created and unit tested an enterprise bean to assemble in an enterprise application and deploy onto an application server.
Assemble an EJB 3.x module to contain enterprise beans and related code artifacts. Group web components, client code, and resource adapter code in separate modules. After the EJB module is assembled, install it as a stand-alone application or combine it with other modules into an enterprise application.
To learn about how to assemble an EJB 3.x module with an assembly tool, see the Rational Application Developer documentation.
Rational Application Developer can be extended with additional plug-ins to provide development support specifically for JPA.
See the Eclipse open source project, Dali, for a plug-in that provides this extension. See the related links in this topic for the Dali JPA tools website.
Issues and problems using this plug-in need to resolved through the Eclipse open source community.
