EJBWizard is a tool that allows enterprises to create graphical representations of their JavaBeans software.
To install the EJBWizard software, two options are available: the binary and the source files. The binary file is only necessary for the average user who intends to use the program. Versions 1 and 2 of the EJBWizard had to be unzipped into the JOnAS root directory, while Version 3 necessitates the creation of its own EJBWIZARD_ROOT directory. To activate this directory, it is imperative to set up the EJBWIZARD_ROOT environment variable. Note that the command scripts in the EJBWIZARD_ROOT/bin are specifically built for JOnAS EJB building, so it is important to keep that in mind.
It is essential to remember that the EJBWizard is a code generator, and it has the ability to override previously existing files, especially if they have common names such as "jonas.properties". All files present before utilizing the EJBWizard are renamed with an added ".bak" when they are overwritten. If you need to regenerate files and merge in changes you had previously made, you can use your editing system that supports file version comparisons.
The latest version of EJBWizard, 3.5.6, fixed the defective code generation for Stateful Session EJBs. This version is considered the "freeze" release for 1.1 EJBs, and the next Beta will begin supporting EJB 2.0. Suggestions are always welcomed in the development process of this software.
Overall, EJBWizard is a great solution for creating EJBs due to its user-friendly interface, cross-platform compatibility, and many more features that help streamline the process of developing new software.
