Develop entity beans
- Define data sources for entity beans
An application that is installed on an application server must have bindings defined before you can start the application. The EJB references and resource references that are defined in the application must be bound to the actual enterprise beans or resources that are defined in the application server.
- Lightweight local operational mode for entity beans
WAS provides a special operational mode called lightweight local mode, which can improve the performance of entity bean methods. We can decide which entity beans in the application to run in this mode.
- Apply lightweight local mode to an entity bean
WAS provides a special operation mode called lightweight local mode, which can improve the performance of entity bean methods. We can decide which entity beans in the application to run in this mode.
- Develop read-only entity beans
In addition to the existing EJB caching options, you can develop read-only entity beans.
