Description Kaloyan Raev CLA 2008-07-22 10:14:01 EDT 
EJB 3.1 introduces the no-interface client view - the client can look-up the bean class without using local business interfaces. 
The Session Bean wizard should ensure that this is possible.

Decommitting Java EE 6 support for WTP 3.1

We've added this on the GlassFish plugin.
Once this is done at the WTP level, we can simplify our plugin. Feel free to
ask for testing on our plugin adapter for GlassFish v3.

patch - warning for no business interface

As a matter a fact, until now there was no check in the wizard that validates if there is any business interfaces configured for the bean. 

This patch added such validation for EJB 3.0 project. The message "No business interface configured. Clients will not be able to access this bean. " appears if there is no business interfaces selected. This validation is not active for EJB 3.1 projects.

Reopening this bug. 

I have just compared the current solution with the one implemented in the Glassfish server adapter. I see that I missed to consider section 4.9.8 (Session Bean's No-Interface View) from the EJB 3.1 specification. More specifically the @LocalBean annotation and its usage. 

Nevetheless, the committed patch with the warning is still valid.
Comment 7 Kaloyan Raev CLA 2009-12-23 08:45:33 EST 
raccah, do you wish to contribute the No-interface checkbox to the WTP Session Bean wizard and the logic for generating the @LocalBean annotation in the bean's source code?
Comment 8 raccah CLA 2009-12-23 12:50:31 EST 
Yes, we would like to do so if possible.  We are investigating the details on our side and hope to have a decision in the beginning of the new year.

No-interface checkbox

This patch introduces a new checkbox - No-interface. If checked, it includes the @LocalBean annotation in the generated bean stub. There is also appropriate validation implemented in the wizard.
