IBM SG24-6320-00 manual 7 J2EE Connector Architecture, Regenerating the deploy code

6320ch_DEV_post_migration.fm Draft Document for Review July 28, 2004 7:33 pm

public abstract java.util.Enumeration findGreaterThan(Integer value) throws java.rmi.RemoteException, javax.ejb.FinderException;

Note: Other methods for generating finder methods were available, but the one described here was the recommended method.

The FinderHelper interface has been replaced in WebSphere Studio Application Developer V5.1.1 with the use of the file ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xmi, located in the folder ejbModule/META-INF in the WebSphereCommerceServerExtensionsData project.

However, with WebSphere Studio Application Developer V5.1.1, you will not have to edit this file manually. To modify the finders for an entity bean, follow this procedure:

1.Switch to the Assembly Descriptor tab of the EJB Deployment Descriptor. (see , “Add the WCSecurity role” on page 148 for details).

2.Select the entity bean in the list on the left that you wish to view or modify the finders for.

3.Scroll down to the WebSphere Extensions section.

4.The list box under the Finders headline contains the list of custom finders, defined for the selected EJB.

Note: All entity beans will have the finder findByPrimaryKey. This finder is not shown in this list.

Regenerating the deploy code

As you have made changes to your EJBs and the deployment descriptor, you must regenerate the deploy code:

1.Switch to the J2EE Hierarchy in the J2EE Perspective.

2.Expand EJB Modules and right-click WebSphereCommerceServerExtensionsData: MyCustomEJBs.

3.Select Generate -> Deployment and RMIC Code...

4.Ensure that the EJBs that you need to generate deployment code for are selected. Click Select all if you need to generate for all custom EJBs. Click Finish.
