Modifying the J2EE Application

To modify a .class file in an enterprise bean, you change the source code, recompile it, and redeploy the application. For example, suppose that you want to change the exchange rate in the dollarToYen business method of the ConverterEJB class:

1. Edit the ConverterEJB.java source file.

2. Recompile ConverterEJB.java.

3. In the Application Deployment Tool, from the Tools menu select Update and Redeploy Application. (The Application Deployment Tool will automatically replace the old .class file in the ConverterApp with the new one.)

To add another .class file to the ConverterJAR (EJB .jar) of the application, you would perform these tasks:

1. Select ConverterJAR in the tree view.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Click the Add button to the right of the Contents field.

4. In the Add Files to JAR dialog box, locate the .class file and click Add.

5. From the Tools menu, select Update and Redeploy Application.

To modify a deployment setting of the ConverterApp, you edit the appropriate field in the inspector panel of the Application Deployment Tool and redeploy the application. For example, to change the JNDI name of the ConverterBean from ATypo to MyConverter, you would follow these steps:

1. In the Application Deployment Tool, select the ConverterApp in the tree view.

2. Select the JNDI Names tab.

3. In the JNDI Name field, enter MyConverter.

4. From the Tools menu, select Update and Redeploy Application.
