Description jrojcek 2005-03-03 14:29:22 UTC 
A participant didn't know how to call an EJB from a web 
application. He was looking into the contextual menu on the 
web application nodes. Facilitator explained he had to create a 
Servlet.

Because of this problem:
5 participants didn't complete Task 2

Recommendation

This is just an idea... Introduce an "EJB Locator" wizard and show 
it in the new menu of web application.
Comment 1 Andrei Badea 2005-03-03 14:49:20 UTC 
We do have a locator wizard, it is called Service Locator. But it is
not by default included in the New File context menu, but only in the
New File dialog.

ISTM this problem has two parts:

1) Creating a servlet

2) Creating code which calls the EJB.

Because of item 1, the code templates feature doesn't solve this
problem. But we could introduce more complicated templates (Servlet
which calls an EJB) or combine the templates that we have now with the
code templates feature. Adding more templates could however clutter up
the New File context menu...
Comment 2 Vince Kraemer 2005-03-10 05:30:32 UTC 
This is an enhancement that requires concentrated HIE analysis.  Basically, we would need to have a 
whole new set of wizards that are task oriented, not artifact oriented like the current wizard.

Another example of this might be an 'Add Dependency' wizard, to manage the classpath information 
between J2SE projects.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
