You can see the relation between an EJB and its classes and interfaces from the Preview tab without generating any file. To preview the code of an EJB, click the Preview tab in the component property sheet (see Previewing Object Code). The various sub-tabs show the code for each interface and class of the EJB. In the model or package property sheet, the Preview page describes the EJB deployment descriptor file with the name of the generated EJB and its methods.
