For J2EE applications that use BMP to persist entity EJB, it is common to package the application in an Enterprise Archive (EAR) file made up of various J2EE application component archives as Figure 9-5 shows.
Figure 9-5 Packaging a J2EE Application With BMP Entity EJB
The component archives with TopLink dependencies include:
The domain JAR contains the TopLink files and domain objects required by the application, including:
project.xml File (or the compiled project.class file if you are not using XML files for deployment)
The mapped classes required by the application, in a fully-resolved directory structure
When you create the JAR file, the JAR building utility automatically creates a directory structure within the JAR. Ensure that the sessions.xml
file and the project.xml
file (or project.class
file) appear at the root of the JAR file. Also ensure that the class directory structure starts at the root of the JAR.
If you do not store the project.xml
or sessions.xml
files at the root of the JAR file, see "Packaging With TopLink Metadata File Resource Paths".
In this type of application, the EJB JAR file specifically services both non-entity and entity EJB. It includes:
The home and remote, and all implementation code for all mapped beans in the application
All mapped non-EJB classes from the TopLink Workbench project
The home and remote, and all implementation code for any session beans included in the application
Helper classes that contain TopLink amendment methods, and any other classes the application requires
Store the following XML files in the EJB JAR \meta-inf
directory:
Because the EJB JAR does not contain entity CMP EJB, its orion-ejb-jar.xml
must not contain persistence-manager
or pm-properties
entries.
For more information, see "Configuring persistence-manager Entries".
