XDoclet and EJB: ejb.create tag

The

ejb.create

tag is used to identify create methods. All create methods

(

ejbCreateXXX

) will have corresponding create methods generated in the generated

home by XDoclet. Here is an example of using the

ejb.create

tag.

public abstract class DeptBean implements EntityBean {

/**

*

* @ejb.create method

*/

public Integer ejbCreate(String name)

throws CreateException {

setName(name);

return null;

}

The above

ejb.create

tag would cause XDoclet to generate the following create

method in the home.

/*

* Generated by XDoclet   Do not edit!

*/

package ejb;

/**

* Local home interface for DeptBean.

*/

public interface DeptHome

extends javax.ejb.EJBLocalHome

{

...

public ejb.Dept create(java.lang.String name)

throws javax.ejb.CreateException;

...

}
