Procedure

  1. Design an EJB application and the enterprise beans that it needs.
  2. Develop any enterprise beans that your application uses.

  4. Assemble the modules into a Java EE application using the assembly tool.
  5. Update the EJB container configuration for a given application server if needed for the application to be deployed, and determine if you want to batch commands or defer commands for container-managed persistence.
  6. Deploy the application in an application server.
  7. Test the modules. Debug any problems with the container or with access.
  8. Assemble the production application using one of the assembly tools.
