Chapter 2

This chapter shows you how to develop, deploy, and run a simple client-server application that uses an enterprise bean. The client is a stand-alone Java^TM application named ConverterClient. It performs simple currency conversions by calling the methods of an enterprise bean named ConverterEJB. You can find the source code in the doc/guides/ejb/examples/converter subdirectory of your Java^TM 2 SDK, Enterprise Edition (J2EE SDK) installation.

To implement the sample application in this chapter you perform these tasks:

• Coding the Enterprise Bean
  
  
• Creating the J2EE Application
  
  
• Packaging the Enterprise Bean
  
  
• Deploying the J2EE Application
  
  
• Building the Client
  
  
• Running the Client
