Class EJBAnnotationHelper

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.geronimo.j2ee.deployment.annotation.EJBAnnotationHelper

public final class EJBAnnotationHelper
extends Object

Static helper class used to encapsulate all the functions related to the translation of @EJB and @EJBs annotations to deployment descriptor tags. The EJBAnnotationHelper class can be used as part of the deployment of a module into the Geronimo server. It performs the following major functions:

1. Translates annotations into corresponding deployment descriptor elements (so that the actual deployment descriptor in the module can be updated or even created if necessary)

Note(s):

• The user is responsible for invoking change to metadata-complete
• This helper class will validate any changes it makes to the deployment descriptor. An exception will be thrown if it fails to parse

Remaining ToDo(s):

• Usage of mappedName
