• Oracle JDeveloper enables you to create an SDO service interface for JPA entities. While this feature is more tailored for use with the Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) service binding in a SOA composite application, you can also use this feature with the Enterprise JavaBeans service binding in SOA composite applications. The SDO service interface feature generates the necessary WSDL and XSD files. If you use this feature, you must perform the following tasks to work with the Enterprise JavaBeans service binding:

  • Browse for and select this WSDL file in the WSDL Chooser dialog, which is accessible from the WSDL URL field of the Create EJB Service dialog (described in Creating an Enterprise JavaBeans Service in ).

  • Add the BC4J Service Runtime library to the SOA project. To add this library, double-click the project and select Libraries and Classpath to add the library in the Project Properties dialog. You are now ready to design the business logic.
