An approach to composition of EJB components using C2 style
Youhee Choi, Oh-Cheon Kwon, Gyu-Sang Shin · 2003
EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) is the server-side component model, and its purpose is to reduce the complexity of software development and to increase software reusability. Many concerns for development of EJB components have recently been raised. However, it is difficult to compose EJB components provided by third parties through the plug-and-play technique. Therefore, the composition method by Lego block styles is needed for EJB components. In this paper, the authors propose an approach to composition of EJB components using the C2 architectural style. In order to support EJB composition, our approach generates EJB wrappers that can be used in composing EJB components based on the C2 style. Also, our approach enables developers to create a new composite EJB for a C2 architecture, which is a large grained component and is composed of EJB components.
