Method

The methodType is used to denote a method of an enterprise bean's home, component, and/or web service endpoint interface, or, in the case of a message-driven bean, the bean's message listener method, or a set of such methods. The ejb-name element must be the name of one of the enterprise beans declared in the deployment descriptor; the optional method-intf element allows to distinguish between a method with the same signature that is multiply defined across the home, component, and/or web service endpoint interfaces; the method-name element specifies the method name; and the optional method-params elements identify a single method among multiple methods with an overloaded method name.

There are three possible styles of using methodType element within a method element

1.  
    <method>
      <ejb-name>EJBNAME</ejb-name>
      <method-name>*</method-name>
    </method>
    

   This style is used to refer to all the methods of the specified enterprise bean's home, component, and/or web service endpoint interfaces.

2.  
    <method>
      <ejb-name>EJBNAME</ejb-name>
      <method-name>METHOD</method-name>
    </method>
    

   This style is used to refer to the specified method of the specified enterprise bean. If there are multiple methods with the same overloaded name, the element of this style refers to all the methods with the overloaded name.

3.  
    <method>
      <ejb-name>EJBNAME</ejb-name>
      <method-name>METHOD</method-name>
      <method-params>
        <method-param>PARAM-1</method-param>
        <method-param>PARAM-2</method-param>
        ...
        <method-param>PARAM-n</method-param>
      </method-params>
    </method>
    
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Method Summary
   
   
   
   
    String
   getMethodIntf()
   
   
   
             The method-intf element allows a method element to differentiate
    between the methods with the same name and signature that are multiply
    defined across the home and component interfaces (e.g., in both an
    enterprise bean's remote and local interfaces, or in both an enterprise
    bean's home and remote interfaces, etc.)
   
   
   
    String
   getMethodName()
   
   
   
             The method-name element contains a name of an enterprise bean method,
    or the asterisk (*) character.
   
   
   
    List
   getMethodParams()
   
   
   
             The method-params element contains a list of the fully-qualified Java
    type names of the method parameters.^
   
   
    
   
   
   
   
   
   Method Detail
   
   
   
   getMethodIntf
   String getMethodIntf()
   
   The method-intf element allows a method element to differentiate
    between the methods with the same name and signature that are multiply
    defined across the home and component interfaces (e.g., in both an
    enterprise bean's remote and local interfaces, or in both an enterprise
    bean's home and remote interfaces, etc.)
    
   
    The method-intf element must be one of the following:
   
    
   Home
    
   Remote
    
   LocalHome
    
   Local
    
   
   
   
   Returns:
   the method's interface
   
   
   
   
   
   getMethodName
   String getMethodName()
   
   The method-name element contains a name of an enterprise bean method,
    or the asterisk (*) character. The asterisk is used when the element^
    denotes all the methods of an enterprise bean's component and home
    interfaces.
   
   
   
   Returns:
   the method's name
   
   
   
   
   
   getMethodParams
   List getMethodParams()
   
   The method-params element contains a list of the fully-qualified Java
    type names of the method parameters.^
   
   
   
   Returns:
   the moethod's paramete types
