Right click Under Project Explorer and Select New->EJB Project.
Name the project as StatefulBean. Select Next.
Mark the fields as suggested in the screenshot and Select Next.
Uncheck Generate Deployment Descriptor. This is beacuse we are using annotations is our applications and so deployment descriptors are redundant entity. Select Next.
On next screen select all default values and Select finish.

This creates a skeleton for the EJB project. Next steps are adding the bean class, bean interface and setter/getter methods.
Right click on ejbModule in StatefulBean project and select New->class.
Name the class as PersonalInfo and package as ejb.stateful. Select Finish.

Add the following code to PersonalInfo.java.

Code Block

title	PersonalInfo.java
borderStyle	solid

package ejb.stateful;

public class PersonalInfo implements java.io.Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

private String FirstName;
private String LastName;
private String UserName;
private String Password;
private String Nationality;

public void setFirstName(String FirstName)
{
	this.FirstName=FirstName;
}

public void setLastName(String LastName)
{
	this.LastName=LastName;
}
public void setUserName(String UserName)
{
	this.UserName=UserName;
}
public void setPassword(String Password)
{
	this.Password=Password;
}
public void setNationality(String Nationality)
{
	this.Nationality=Nationality;
}
public String getFirstName()
{
	return FirstName;
}

public String getLastName()
{
	return LastName;
}
public String getUserName()
{
	return UserName;
}
public String getPassword()
{
	return Password;
}
public String getNationality()
{
	return Nationality;
}

}

Similarly create a class BillingInfo.java and add the following code.

Code Block

title	BillingInfo.java
borderStyle	solid

package ejb.stateful;

public class BillingInfo implements java.io.Serializable
{
	
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	private String houseNo;
	private String street;
	private String city;
	private String pincode;
	private String country;
	private String bank;
	private String cardno;
	
	public void setBank(String bank)
	{
		this.bank=bank;
	}

	public void setCardno(String cardno)
	{
		this.cardno=cardno;
	}
	public void setHouseNo(String houseNo)
	{
		this.houseNo=houseNo;
	}

	public void setStreet(String street)
	{
		this.street=street;
	}
	public void setCity(String city)
	{
		this.city=city;
	}
	public void setPincode(String pincode)
	{
		this.pincode=pincode;
	}
	public void setCountry(String country)
	{
		this.country=country;
	}
	public String getBank()
	{
		return bank;
	}

	public String getCardno()
	{
		return cardno;
	}
	public String getHouseNo()
	{
		return houseNo;
	}

	public String getStreet()
	{
		return street;
	}
	public String getCity()
	{
		return city;
	}
	public String getPincode()
	{
		return pincode;
	}
	public String getCountry()
	{
		return country;
	}

}

PersonalInfo.java and BillingInfo.java are classes for setting and getting the user information.

Now we will add the Business interface or bean interface. Right click on the package ejb.stateful and Select New->Interface.
Name the interface as AccountCreator and Select Finish.

Add the following code to AccountCreator interface.

Code Block

title	AccountCreator.java
borderStyle	solid

package ejb.stateful;
import javax.ejb.Remote;
@Remote
public interface AccountCreator {
void addPersonalInfo(PersonalInfo personalinfo);
void addBillingInfo(BillingInfo billinginfo);
void createAccount();
}

Info

title	Information

Once you enter this code you might see errors like @EJB can be resolved. Currently there are some limitations with the geronimo eclipse plugin which will resolved soon. We will soon suggest you how to get rid of those errors.

Next step is to add the implementation to the interface. Right click on ejb.stateful interface and select New->class.
Name the bean class as AccountCreatorBean and Select Finish.

Add the following code to AccountCreatorBean.

Code Block

title	AccountCreatorBean.java
borderStyle	solid

package ejb.stateful;

import java.sql.Connection;

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.annotation.PreDestroy;
import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.ejb.PostActivate;
import javax.ejb.PrePassivate;
import javax.ejb.Remove;
import javax.ejb.Stateful;
import javax.sql.DataSource;


@Stateful
public class AccountCreatorBean implements AccountCreator{
@Resource(name="jdbc/userds")
DataSource datasource;
Connection connection;
PersonalInfo personalinfo=new PersonalInfo();
BillingInfo billinginfo=new BillingInfo();
	
	public AccountCreatorBean() {
	super();
}	


@PostConstruct
@PostActivate
public void openConnection()
{
	try{
	connection=datasource.getConnection();
	}
	catch(Exception e)
	{
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
}

@PreDestroy
@PrePassivate
public void closeConnection()
{
	connection=null;
}

public void addPersonalInfo(PersonalInfo personalinfo)
{
	this.personalinfo=personalinfo;
}

public void addBillingInfo(BillingInfo billinginfo)
{
	this.billinginfo=billinginfo;
}

@Remove
public void createAccount()
{
	System.out.println("Your request has been successfully processed");
}

}

Once you have added the code you will see lot of errors but this can be resolved easily and is shown in next step.

The errors in the code is due to missing classes from our server runtime. This can be resolved as follows.
Right click on StatefulBean project and select Properties.
On the next screen select Java Build Path->Libraries->Add External Jars.
Browse to <GERONIMO_HOME>/repository/org/apache/geronimo/specs/geronimo-ejb_3.0_spec/1.0.1 and select geronimo-ejb_3.0_spec-1.0.1.jar. Select Open.

Similarly browse to <GERONIMO_HOME>/repository/org/apache/geronimo/specs/geronimo-annotation_1.0_spec/1.1.1 and add geronimo-annotation_1.0_spec-1.1.1.jar.
Once done you can see both the jars enlisted. Select Ok.
