Adding an EJB Service Endpoint

The service endpoint provides the implementation of an EJB service.

You can add a service endpoint throughout the development process, when creating a service, editing the service interface, or developing a service package profile that contains an EJB service.

Open the EJB service in the Service editor.
Select the Service Interface tab.
Right-click the service interface and select Add Endpoint.
The Endpoint Type dialog opens.

To add a service endpoint, choose from the following:
