Configuring a Process

After creating a project, an empty process is created. You can add activities to the empty process to complete a task. For example, create an EJB 2.x remote object.

Note: When you configure a process, you might have to import the CORBA-related classes into the MANIFEST.MF file of the project. For details, see Importing CORBA-Related Classes.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have finished the following tasks before configuring a process:

Procedure

  1. In the Project Explorer view, click the created project and open the empty process from the Processes folder.
  2. Select activities from the Palette view and drop them in the Process editor. For example, select and drop the Timer activity from the General Activities palette and the EJB2Home and EJB2Remote activities from the EJB palette.

  3. Drag the icon to create a transition between the added activities.
  4. Configure the added activities, as described in EJB Palette.
    Note: An EJB Configuration shared resource is required when you configure the EJB activities. See Creating an EJB Configuration Shared Resource for more details on how to create the EJB Configuration shared resource.
  5. Click File > Save to save the project.
  • Importing CORBA-Related Classes
    When you configure a process to invoke the Container Managed Persistence (CMP) entity bean of EJB 2.0 on IBM WebSphere Application Server, if you add the EJB client JAR files to the lib folder of a project, the class space of the project might be inconsistent with the added EJB client JAR files.
