# TopLink in a J2EE Application

Previous

Next

Although TopLink is an integral part of a J2EE application, in most cases the client does not interact with TopLink directly. Instead, TopLink features are invoked indirectly by way of EJB container callbacks.

As a result, the typical deployment process involves the following steps:

1. Build the project elements, including beans, classes, and data sources.

2. Define the application mappings in TopLink Workbench.

3. Build the application deployment files. Use TopLink Workbench to create the files.

4. Package and deploy the application.

5. Add code to the client application to enable it to access the TopLink application.
