Before you work with an Enterprise JavaBean component (enterprise beans) in the IDE, add it to the Services window. An enterprise bean must be deployed on an application server before it can be imported. Enterprise beans are added through client JAR files, and these JAR files can be generated when the enterprise bean application is deployed.
To add an enterprise bean, specify location and connection information for a client JAR file containing the bean's defining classes. You can add sets of enterprise beans individually, or you can import a set of enterprise beans exported from the IDE by another developer. By default, several enterprise bean sets are installed with the IDE.
To add a set of enterprise beans:
After you add an enterprise bean, its node appears as a subnode of the Enterprise JavaBeans node.
To add a set of enterprise beans exported by another developer:
All selected enterprise bean sets appear in the Enterprise JavaBeans node in the Services window.
