Chapter 14 Working with Java

Reverse engineering EJB options

You start reverse engineering EJB from Language→Reverse Engineer Java. Select one of the following Java formats from the Selection page in order to select the Reverse Engineer Deployment Descriptor check box from the Options page:

• Java directories
• Class directories
• Archive (.JAR file)

For more information on the Java formats, see section Reverse engineering Java formats in chapter Reverse engineering.

The reverse engineering feature looks for a deployment descriptor file located inside the .JAR, or the class or Java directories and creates the appropriate components.

The deployment descriptor describes the components of the .JAR file, thus, for each described component, the reverse feature creates a component in the package specified by its bean class. If the Bean class is missing, the components are not reversed.

For more information on the deployment descriptor, see section Using the EJB deployment descriptor.
