Getting Started

This tutorial is designed for beginners who want to use TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for EJB in TIBCO Business Studio.

Prerequisites

Ensure your EJB application server is running and EJBs are deployed on the EJB application server before using the plug-in.

All the operations are performed in TIBCO Business Studio. See TIBCO Business Studio Overview to get familiar with TIBCO Business Studio.

A basic procedure of using TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for EJB includes the following steps:
  1. Creating a Project
  2. Connecting to an EJB Server
  3. Creating an EJB Configuration Shared Resource
  4. Configuring EJB Client JAR Files
  5. Configuring a Process
  6. Testing a Process
  7. Deploying an Application
  • Creating a Project
    The first task of using the plug-in is creating a project. After creating a project, you can add resources and processes.
  • Connecting to an EJB Server
    You have to connect to an EJB server before invoking any EJB by using TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for EJB.
  • Creating an EJB Configuration Shared Resource
    An EJB Configuration shared resource is necessary to specify the configuration for the JNDI server before running any EJB activity.
  • Configuring EJB Client JAR Files
    The EJB client JAR files are necessary for the plug-in to be used as the client view of EJB.
  • 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.
  • Testing a Process
    After configuring a process, you can test the process to check whether the process completes your task.
  • Deploying an Application
    After testing, if the configured process works as expected, you can deploy the application that contains the configured process into a runtime environment, and then use the bwadmin utility to manage the deployed application.
