Use this rule to define and configure a connector to an Enterprise JavaBean on a local or remote system. The services are deployed as Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) within a Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application server, such as IBM's WebSphere or Oracle WebLogic.

At runtime, the system locates the local or remote services and connects to them using the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) protocol.

Access

Use the Application Explorer or Designer Studio> Integration > Definitions > Implementations to list the Connect EJB rules in your application.

Select Designer Studio> Integration > Connectors > Connector and Metadata Wizard to start the Connector Accelerator to create a Connect EJB rule.

Use the Records Explorer to list all Connect EJB rules that are available to you.

Development

You can use an accelerator tool to generate classes, properties, and Connect EJB rules, rather than creating them one by one through rule forms. See About the Connector and Metadata accelerator.

To debug your application, you can simulate an EJB connector when the external system is unavailable or lacks a test environment. See Creating Connector Simulations.

Where referenced

Connect EJB rules can be referenced in an Integrator shape (Integrator) of a flow rule, or on the Definition tab of a Data Page rule, as the source of data for the contents of the data page.
