Configuring Passivation Location

You can specify the directory and file name to which OC4J serializes an EJB 3.0 stateful session bean when passivated using OC4J-proprietary annotations (see "Using Annotations") or using the orion-ejb-jar.xml file (see "Using Deployment XML").

For more information, see the following:

• "Where is a Passivated Stateful Session Bean Stored?"

• "Configuring Passivation"

• "Configuring Passivation Criteria"

Using Annotations

You can specify OC4J-proprietary deployment options for an EJB 3.0 stateful session bean using the @StatefulDeployment OC4J-proprietary annotation. Example 5-1 shows how to configure the passivation location for an EJB 3.0 stateless session bean using the @StatefulDeployment annotation persistenceFileName attribute.

For more information on this @StatefulDeployment attribute, see Table A-1. For more information on the @StatefulDeployment annotation, see "Configuring OC4J-Proprietary Deployment Options on an EJB 3.0 Session Bean".

Example 5-2 Configuring Passivation Location Using @StatefulDeployment

import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import oracle.j2ee.ejb.StatelessDeployment;

@Stateless
@StatefulDeployment(
    persistenceFileNazme="C:\sfsb\sfsb.persistence",
)
public class HelloWorldBean implements HelloWorld {
    public void sayHello(String name) {
        System.out.println("Hello "+name +" from first EJB3.0");
    }
}

Using Deployment XML

For an EJB 3.0 stateful session bean, you configure passivation location in the orion-ejb-jar.xml file as you would for an EJB 2.1 stateful session bean (see "Using Deployment XML").
