Step 2: Adding an addDepartment() method to the Session Bean

Previous

Next

Now that your Dept entity ejb has a new create method, you'll want to call that from the session bean facade.

To add the create() method to the session facade:

1. In the UML diagram, click below listDepartments() to add a new method.
2. Type addDepartment(Long deptno, String dname, Long location) : void
3. In the Navigator, double-click hrAppBean.java to open it in the Code Editor.
4. Add the following to the import block:
   import javax.ejb.CreateException;
5. In the Structure pane, double-click addDepartment() to jump to that method in the code.
6. Paste in the following code in place of the stub method:



  public void addDepartment(Long deptno, String dname, Long location)
  {
  try {
    this.getDeptLocalHome().create(deptno,dname,location);
   }
   catch(NamingException ne)
    {
	System.out.println(ne.toString());
	throw new javax.ejb.EJBException(ne);
    }
    catch(CreateException ce)
    {
	System.out.println(ce.toString());
	throw new javax.ejb.EJBException(ce);
    }
  
  }
