EJB components can be deployed in an EJB-JAR file. The EJB-JAR file packages the component classes and a deployment descriptor in the standard Java archive (JAR) format. The deployment descriptor describes the components included in the JAR and sets standard properties such as the home and remote interface names, transaction attribute values, required user roles, and so forth.
You can use several tools to create EJB-JAR files, including Ant, Eclipse, and popular IDEs such as Borland JBuilder. You can deploy the EJB-JAR to EAServer using several tools including:
The Management Console
The deploy utility
The jagant and jagtool utilities.
EAServer also supports the Enterprise JavaBeans client model. You can generate EJB-style proxies for any IDL interface, and use the proxies to call methods on components that implement that interface.
