EJB Relationship Properties dialogUltimate
Last modified: 08 March 2021
The EJB Relationship Properties dialog opens when your draw a line between entity beans on an EJB ER diagram. (In this way you create a relationship between the corresponding beans.)
Use this dialog to define the relationship properties, and also to add the corresponding elements to the deployment descriptor.
| Item | Description |

| Relationship Name | Type the name of a new relationship link. |
| Description | Type optional description. If the text is long, click the ellipsis button, and type the desired text in the editor dialog box. |

| Multiplicity | Select multiplicity from the drop-down list. |
| CMR Field | Select this checkbox, if you want to create a container-managed relation field <cmr-field > in the deployment descriptor. If this option is checked, specify following attributes. |
