JDeveloper provides the following tools for developing Enterprise JavaBeans:
The UML Class Modeler is a visual interface for creating and modifying your EJBs. You can use the modeling tools to create EJBs, relationships, dependencies, etc. You can also drag and drop database tables onto the diagram to create CMP entity beans.
Another useful tool is the EJB Module Editor. The EJB Module Editor helps you edit code declaratively.
The Code Editor is used to view and edit your Java code. You'll use the Code Editor several times in this tutorial when you add implementation code to your Bean class and sample Java clients.
The EJB Verifier checks the code in your beans to if it is valid and conforms to to the rules in the EJB specification. Any errors that are identified can be automatically fixed by right-clicking the error and choosing Fix Source. For more information, see Using the EJB Verifier.
The CMP Mapping editor helps you map CMP entity beans to existing database tables. You can map fields as well as relationships. For more information, see Mapping CMP Fields Manually.
