Description aascotty 2005-12-08 22:08:56 UTC

I'd like to suggest an enhancement to the IDE in terms of right clicking a 
context menu from the source editor and have the IDE automatically create in a 
JSP page the necessary scriptlet code, JSTL or custom JSP tag to call an 
Enterprise Java Bean(Session Bean/Entity Bean) rather than having to create 
the code myself from scratch.  This capability only exists from a servlet 
class (not the servlet class translated from a JSP page) or Java class in 
general.
 
Is this capability in the works or is there a logical reason why it does not 
exist in NetBeans 4.1?
 
Scott

It is not possible to have it in 5.0. High resistance mode starts on Sunday and
UI freeze was many weeks ago. Sorry.

Comment 2 Petr Blaha 2005-12-09 09:34:41 UTC

One reason is you shouldn't put this functionality as call EJB, .... in view.
Use rather business delegeate pattern. This pattern reduces coupling between
presentation-tier clients and business services. The Business Delegate hides the
underlying implementation details of the business service, such as lookup and
access details of the EJB architecture.

Comment 3 Alexander Kouznetsov 2006-09-28 18:53:05 UTC

There is an inconsistency - you can create code for EJB lookup in Servlet and cannot in JSP.

Obsolete milestone, please reevaluate
