Naming Conventions for Enterprise Beans - The J2EE 1.4 Tutorial

Naming Conventions for Enterprise Beans

Because enterprise beans are composed of multiple parts, it's useful to follow a naming convention for your applications. Table 23-2 summarizes the conventions for the example beans in this tutorial.

Table 23-2 Naming Conventions for Enterprise Beans 

Item	Syntax	Example
Enterprise bean name (DD1)	<name>Bean	AccountBean
EJB JAR display name (DD)	<name>JAR	AccountJAR
Enterprise bean class	<name>Bean	AccountBean
Home interface	<name>Home	AccountHome
Remote interface	<name>	Account
Local home interface	<name>LocalHome	AccountLocalHome
Local interface	<name>Local	AccountLocal
Abstract schema (DD)	<name>	Account

1DD means that the item is an element in the bean's deployment descriptor.
