Developing an application

There are three basic steps involved in creating and deploying an EJB Server application that employs a Java applet as a client.

To create and deploy an EJB Server application:

Define packages, components, and methods. The Adaptive Server plug-in for Sybase Central is the EJB Server GUI interface. It allows you to easily define the packages, components, and methods that EJB Server clients use to run an application. The Adaptive Server plug-in for Sybase Central generates:
- The client-side stub files Stubs contain interface information used by the client to invoke EJB component methods.
- The server-side skeleton files Skeletons provide the interface information of each component method.
Create the applets and components. Once you have generated the stubs and skeletons, write the Java classes that, once linked with the stub files, form the basis of your downloadable applet.

In addition to the applet, you need to develop the server-side components that link with the skeletons to form the business logic of your servlet. EJB Server supports many of the integrated development environment (IDE) tools, such as PowerJ, available today.
Deploy the application. You register components on the EJB Server. Since EJB Server is also a Web server, you can write an HTML page for your applet and install it on EJB Server.
