Abstract
The EJB 3.0 specifications, which were improved in terms of performance and ease of development, were recently announced. Accordingly, for the EJB 3.0 application environment, developers generally prefer the gradual transformation of components whose performance must be improved to the complete transformation of all the EJB 2.1 components into EJB 3.0 components. Previous studies, however, did not consider the service of the application and did not ensure the compatibility and reusability of the components in the full replacement of EJB 3.0 due to the transformation using different specifications. This study proposed three transformation techniques that consider the service supported in the existing application, wherein the compatibility and reusability of the components are ensured in the case of the full replacement of EJB 3.0. The proposed transformation techniques are techniques for gradual transformation, such as direct transformation that directly connects components, indirect transformation that uses the EJB connector, and indirect template transformation wherein the template pattern is applied to the indirect transformation. The proposed transformation techniques were verified by comparing the reusability and processing capability of the components per second, and the standards for selecting a technique were provided based on the characteristics of the transformation into EJB 3.0 that were found in this study.
