Content of ejb-jar file

[Devender Thareja]

According to HFEJB
The ejb-jar should include EJB's home, either directly or by reference. What it mean by reference? Can you provide an example? Thanks.

Keyword: manifest file

In EJB2.0 and ejb-jar is not required to have a manifest file. So normally you msut have the following entries in your ejb jar file:
1) Home interface
2) Component interface
3) Your bean class
4) ejb-jar.xml in META-INF directory.

But if you wish you can package your jar file as follows:

1) ejb-jar.xml in META-INF directory.
2) manifest file referring to Home/Component and Bean classes

In the second approach you are indirectly referring to your Home/Component/Bean classes.
