Configuring the ejb-jar.xml File

Creating ejb-jar.xml During Migration

For EJB 2.1 only, you can automatically generate the ejb-jar.xml file during migration (see "Migrating to the TopLink Persistence Manager"). After generation, you can use the TopLink Workbench to customize and re-export this file (see "Using TopLink Workbench").

Creating the ejb-jar.xml File at Deployment Time

When you deploy an EJB 3.0 application with one or more annotations, OC4J will write its in-memory ejb-jar.xml file to the same location as the orion-ejb-jar.xml file in the deployment directory: <ORACLE_HOME>/j2ee/home/application-deployments/my_application/META-INF.

This ejb-jar.xml file represents configuration obtained from both annotations and a deployed ejb-jar.xml file (if present).

Creating ejb-jar.xml with JDeveloper

You can use JDeveloper to generate and update the ejb-jar.xml file.

For more information, see "Using JDeveloper".
