Naming Conventions for Enterprise Beans

Because enterprise beans are composed of multiple parts, it's useful to follow a naming convention for your applications. Table 23-2 summarizes the conventions for the example beans in this tutorial.

Table 23-2 Naming Conventions for Enterprise Beans
Item	Syntax	Example
Enterprise bean name (DD1)	`<`name`>Bean`	`AccountBean`
EJB JAR display name (DD)	`<`name`>JAR`	`AccountJAR`
Enterprise bean class	`<`name`>Bean`	`AccountBean`
Home interface	`<`name`>Home`	`AccountHome`
Remote interface	`<`name`>`	`Account`
Local home interface	`<`name`>LocalHome`	`AccountLocalHome`
Local interface	<name>`Local`	`AccountLocal`
Abstract schema (DD)	<name>	`Account`

1DD means that the item is an element in the bean's deployment descriptor.
