Reverse Engineering EJB Components

PowerDesigner can reverse engineer EJB components located in .JAR files.

1. Select Language > Reverse Engineer Java to open the Reverse Engineer Java dialog.
2. On the Selection tab, select Archives from the Reverse list.
3. Click the Add button, navigate to and select the objects that you want to reverse, and then click Open to add them to the list.
4. Click the Options tab and select the Reverse Engineer Deployment Descriptor check box.
5. Click OK.

   A progress box is displayed. If the model in which you are reverse engineering already contains data, the Merge Models dialog box is displayed.

   For more information on merging models, see Core Features Guide > Modeling with PowerDesigner > Comparing and Merging Models.

6. Click OK.

   The Reverse page of the Output window displays the changes that occurred during reverse and the diagram window displays the updated model.
