webMethods Adapter for Enterprise JavaBeans (Adapter for Enterprise Javabeans) is an add-on to the webMethods product suite that enables you to exchange data between webMethods Integration Server and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) on an application server. The adapter provides seamless and real-time communication with the application server.

Adapter for Enterprise Javabeans provides support for the EJB 3.0 and the EJB 2.1 standards that enable the end user to efficiently configure and manage the adapter connections and services.

Adapter for Enterprise Javabeans provides user interfaces that enable you to configure and manage adapter connections and adapter services. The adapter services are linked to specific EJBs, and can be used on their own or included in flows built to implement business processes.

Using functionality provided by the adapter, a client can identify the EJBs deployed on the application server, create a remote instance of an EJB, and then invoke a selected method on the remote bean instance. For example, you can use Adapter for Enterprise Javabeans to create services that Integration Server clients use to create and update account information for a database connected to an application server that provides EJB capabilities.

You can download a sample EJB application that illustrates how you might implement code that invokes services on Integration Server from the Software AG TECHcommunity website. The sample code is not part of Adapter for Enterprise Javabeans. For more information, see Invoking webMethods Services From an EJB.
