Using JBoss EJB 3 with Eclipse RCP [Part 2]

The Demo-EJB

As a simple example EJB, which will be used in our RCP, we will use a small EJB 3.0 stateless session bean. It’s a typical “Hello World” bean:

MyTestStatelessSessionRemote.java
[java]
package bz.jmc.blog.tutorial.rcp_with_jboss.ejb;

import javax.ejb.Remote;

@Remote
public interface MyTestStatelessSessionRemote {

public String sayHello();

}
[/java]
MyTestStatelessSessionBean.java
[java]
package bz.jmc.blog.tutorial.rcp_with_jboss.ejb;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

@Stateless
public class MyTestStatelessSessionBean implements MyTestStatelessSessionRemote {

public String sayHello() {
return “Hello World! I’m an Stateless-Session-Bean”;
}

}
[/java]
This Bean will be packaged in a JAR-file called MyTestStatelessSession.jar and needs to be deployed to JBoss. After deployment JBoss should echo something like this:
[code]
11:31:25,651 INFO [Server] JBoss (MX MicroKernel) [4.0.4.GA (build: CVSTag=JBoss_4_0_4_GA date=200605151000)] Started in 1m:21s:287ms

[/code]

In the next part I’ll show you how to create our simple RCP application.
