Adding an EJB Service Operation

You have the option of adding service operations to an EJB service when creating the service or when editing the service interface.

To add a service operation when creating the service:

Use the New Service wizard.

To add a service operation when editing the service interface:

Open the EJB service that you want to edit using the service editor.
Select the Service Interface tab.
Create an operation that is linked to the EJB method.
1. Right-click on the service interface, and select Add Operation|Create an operation linked to the method in EJB from the context menu.
2. Follow the steps in the wizard.

Service operations cannot be overloaded

Since WSDL does not support method overloading, you cannot expose overloaded Java methods in the service interface. That is, you cannot expose two Java methods that have the same name and differ in the parameter types they accept. If the EJB contains overloaded methods, only one of each overloaded method will be available to expose in the service interface.
