Enterprise Application project
Enterprise Application projects contain the resources needed for enterprise
applications and can contain references to a combination of Web modules, EJB
modules, application client modules, resource adapter modules, utility Java
projects, and JAR files.
These relationships can be specified when creating a new Enterprise Application
project through the wizard or through the project properties.
For more information on developing J2EE enterprise applications, see
07001.
J2EE Application Client project
J2EE Application Client projects contain the resources needed for J2EE
application client modules. An application client module is used to contain a
fully-functioning client Java application (non-Web-based) that connects to and
uses the J2EE resources in a J2EE enterprise application and an application
server. By holding a reference to the associated enterprise application, it shares
information such as the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) reference to
EJBs and data sources.
Connector project
A connector project contains the resources required for a J2EE resource adapter.
The wizard allows a set of facets (including the J2EE Connector Architecture
(JCA) version) and containing EAR file to be specified.
