XDoclet and EJB technology: ejb.interface tag

To declare that a method in the implementation should show up in the remote or local

interface you use the

ejb.interface

tag as follows:

/**

...

* @ejb:interface method view type="local"

...

*/

public abstract Integer getId();

public abstract void setId(Integer id);

The

ejb.interface

tag specifies a

view type

parameter. The view type parameter

tells XDoclet where it should generate the method: local, remote or both for the local

interface, the remote interface of both interfaces. The above XDoclet tag would cause

the following method to be generated in the local interface as follows:

/*

* Generated by XDoclet   Do not edit!

*/

package ejb;

/**

* Local interface for DeptBean.

*/

public interface Dept

extends javax.ejb.EJBLocalObject

{

...

/**

* This is a cmp field. The cmp field is read only. And it is the primary key.

*/

public java.lang.Integer getId(

) ;
