Setting Properties
Important
Most properties for Enterprise JavaBeans can be set in their deployment descriptors.
The Borland Deployment Descriptor Editor (DDEditor) also allows you to set properties
and edit descriptor files. Use of the Deployment Descriptor Editor is described in the
Borland Management Console User's Guide. For more information, go to “Using the
Deployment Descriptor Editor” on page 143. Use properties in the deployment
descriptor to specify information about the entity bean's interfaces, transaction
attributes, and so forth, plus information that is unique to an entity bean. In addition to
the general descriptor information for entity beans, here are also three sets of
properties that can be set to customize CMP implementations, entity properties, table
properties, and column properties. Entity properties can be set either by the EJB
Designer Tab in the Deployment Descriptor Editor or in the XML directly.

Using the Deployment Descriptor Editor
You can use the Deployment Descriptor Editor, which is part of BES, to set up all of the
container-managed persistence information. Most operations for CMP 2.x are
performed by way of the EJB Designer, a component of the Deployment Descriptor
Editor. The following table shows descriptor information and where in the Deployment
Descriptor Editor that information can be entered.
For complete information on the use of the Deployment Descriptor Editor and other
related tools, refer to the Borland Management Console User's Guide.
The EJB Designer
CMP 2.x properties are set using the EJB Designer. The EJB Designer appears as a
Tab in the Deployment Descriptor Editor. For more information about the EJB
Designer, go to the Borland Management Console User's Guide.
