Coding the Enterprise Bean Class

The enterprise bean class for this example is called ConverterBean. This class implements two business methods (dollarToYen and yenToEuro). Because the enterprise bean class doesn't implement a business interface, the enterprise bean exposes a local, no-interface view. The public methods in the enterprise bean class are available to clients that obtain a reference to ConverterBean. The source code for the ConverterBean class follows.

package com.sun.tutorial.javaee.ejb;

import java.math.BigDecimal;
import javax.ejb.*;

@Stateless
public class ConverterBean {
    private BigDecimal yenRate = new BigDecimal("115.3100");
    private BigDecimal euroRate = new BigDecimal("0.0071");

    public BigDecimal dollarToYen(BigDecimal dollars) {
        BigDecimal result = dollars.multiply(yenRate);
        return result.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_UP);
    }

    public BigDecimal yenToEuro(BigDecimal yen) {
        BigDecimal result = yen.multiply(euroRate);
        return result.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_UP);
    }
}

Note the @Stateless annotation decorating the enterprise bean class. This lets the container know that ConverterBean is a stateless session bean.
