Abstract
An apparatus, method, and system for generating semi-deployed enterprise java beans is provided. The apparatus, method and system make use of metadata to identify an intended deployment of an undeployed enterprise java bean. The metadata may be packaged with the undeployed enterprise java bean into a java archive file which is provided to a deployment tool either on the same computing device or a different computing device. The deployment tool may make use of the metadata when generating deployment classes for the undeployed enterprise java bean. However, if the deployment tool is unable to recognize the metadata or the use of the metadata is not wanted, the deployment tool may also deploy the undeployed enterprise java bean in a conventional manner.
