EJB modules
An EJB module is used to assemble one or more enterprise beans
into a single deployable unit. An EJB module is stored in a standard Java
archive (JAR) file.
An EJB module contains the following:
- One or more deployable enterprise beans.
- A deployment descriptor, stored in an Extensible Markup Language (XML)
file. This file declares the contents of the module, defines the structure
and external dependencies of the beans in the module, and describes how the
beans are to be used at run time.
You can deploy an EJB module as a stand alone application, or combine it
with other EJB modules or with Web modules to create a J2EE application. An
EJB module is installed and run in an enterprise bean container.
