  1. Elimination of the requirement for EJB component interfaces for session beans. The required business interface for a session bean can be a plain Java interface rather than an EJBObject, EJBLocalObject, or java.rmi.Remote interface.
  2. Elimination of the requirement for home interfaces for session beans.
  3. Encapsulation of environmental dependencies and JNDI access through the use of annotations, dependency injection mechanisms, and simple lookup mechanisms.
  4. Introduction of Java metadata annotations to be used as an alternative to deployment descriptors.

Deployment Plans

The structure of the deployable should look like the following:

No Format
borderStylesolid

|- calculator-stateless-ear-2.0-M2.ear
   |- META-INF
      |- application.xml
      |- geronimo-application.xml
   |- calculator-stateless-ejb-2.0-M2.jar
   |- calculator-stateless-war-2.0-M2.war

application.xml: The JAR file is referenced to provide the functionality of this deployable. The WAR file is referenced in order to show the usage of this deployable through a web based interface. The context-root is set to be /calculator-stateless so that the URL for this application will be http://<hostname>:<port>/calculator-stateless.

</application>

geronimo-application.xml: Information about the project (e.g. module's unique identification, any dependencies) is described inside the <environment> tag. In this case, there are no dependencies so there is nothing to be listed. However, it is a good idea to give this module some sort of unique identification, so that it can later be referenced by some other deployable application.
