Creating and deploying a container-managed persistence bean
You can create container-managed persistence entity beans that map to federated systems nicknames.
- Rational Application Developer is required.
- You must register the objects that the bean accesses in your federated system.
A single container-managed persistence entity bean can span multiple data sources. The entity bean integrates disparate data through standard enterprise JavaBean technology. When you define a container-managed persistence entity bean, you use a deployment descriptor file to control the data source that contains the persistent data and any access restrictions.
After you package and deploy the entity bean, you can change the properties of the bean by changing the deployment descriptors of the bean. You can assemble your bean with other beans to create applications. Or, you can export your bean from your current development environment and deploy it on another Web application server.
