Specifying Descriptor Types

TopLink descriptors can be a class descriptor, an aggregate descriptor, or an EJB descriptor. After creating a descriptor, use this procedure to change the descriptor type.

Note: EJB 2.0 descriptors are created only by reading the ejb-jar.xml file. An EJB descriptor cannot be an aggregate.

To Specify a Descriptor's Type:

Right-click the descriptor in the Structure window.
Choose Descriptor Type > specific descriptor type from the pop-up menu.

You can also change the descriptor's type by selecting the descriptor, clicking the Descriptor Type button in the Structure toolbar, and selecting the appropriate descriptor icon:
- Class
- Aggregate
- EJB
