where to write the client code in websphere?

hi friends,

I am new to EJB's and working in IBM WebSphere. In want to write

1.sampleHome (home interface)
2.sample (bean interface)
3.sampleBean (bean class)
4.sampleClient (client code)

I created the first 3 by File|New|EJB project and placed these home interface,bean interface,bean class in the folder.

Sample EJB
EJB Modules
com
ibm
pbw
ejb
samplehome.java
samplebean.java
sample.java

Now my problem where to write this client code sampleclient.java
and how? (I mean File|New|??|??)?
After writing the client code , how to run the ejb?

Please remember that I am working in Websphere

I take it by 'WebSphere' you actually mean WSAD (i.e. WebSphere Studio Application Developer) - which is the development tool of choice for WebSphere - the Application Server.

If you're using WSAD, go to File -> New -> Other -> J2EE -> Application Client Project to create a J2EE Client Container client. This will give you a client container deployment descriptor and easier access to JNDI and a few other services than a vanilla J2SE client.

cheers,

Dave.

Thanks Dave...

I will try it and let u know..

hi dave,
I created an application client project as u said.
But the sampleclient.java is not able to import the home interface and bean interface...
i.e.,

import com.ibm.pbw.ejb.SimpleSessionHome;
import com.ibm.pbw.ejb.SimpleSession;

It is showing that it can't resolve com.ibm.pbw.ejb..

It's a CLASSPATH problem. Do include ur root directory in CLASSPATH.

hi,

I didn't set the classpath..
Some code is automatically generated in the ".classpath"
This is as follows::

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
<classpathentry kind="var"
path="SERVERJDK_50_PLUGINDIR/jre/lib/rt.jar"
rootpath="SERVERJDK_SRCROOT" sourcepath="SERVERJDK_50_PLUGINDIR/src.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="src" path="appClientModule"/>
<classpathentry kind="var" path="WAS_50_PLUGINDIR/lib/j2ee.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="var" path="WAS_50_PLUGINDIR/lib/ivjejb35.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="output" path="appClientModule"/>
</classpath>

How to set classpath..? What should I do now?

right-cllick on the project, -> Properties -> Java Build Path.

another good option is Help Menu -> Help Contents -> ... ;-)

cheers,

Dave
