The following table lists the annotations included in the javax.ejb package:

List of annotations

Annotation name	Functionality
@AccessTimeout	Specify the timeout value of the concurrent access of Singleton Session Bean set by the Container Managed Concurrency.
@AfterBegin	Specify in a method that is called back immediately after starting the transaction of Stateful Session Bean.
@AfterCompletion	Specify in a method that is called back after completing the transaction of Stateful Session Bean.
@ApplicationException	Specify in an exception class that is considered as an application exception.
@Asynchronous	Specify in a business method that is executed asynchronously. Specify in a class and method of Stateless Session Bean or Singleton Session Bean.
@BeforeCompletion	Specify in a method that is called back immediately before completing the transaction of Stateful Session Bean.
@ConcurrencyManagement	Specify the type of the ConcurrencyManagement of Singleton Session Bean. Specify this annotation only in the Singleton Session Bean class.
@DependsOn	Specify to specify the dependency relation between Singleton Session Beans. Specify this annotation only in Singleton Session Bean class.
@EJB	Specify the reference to EJB business interface or home interface.
@EJBs	Specify multiple @EJB.
@Init	Specify in a method that is called back when create <METHOD>()defined in the home interface of Stateful Session Bean is executed.
@Local	Specify the local business interface of Enterprise Beans.
@LocalBean	Specify if Session Bean is specified as No-Interface view. Specify this annotation only in the Session Bean class.
@LocalHome	Specify in an Enterprise Bean class that supports the invocation using the local home interface, and local component interface.
@Lock	Specify the method to perform exclusive control when you are accessing business methods of a Singleton Session Bean in which the Container Managed Concurrency is set.
@PostActivate	Specify in a method that is called back immediately after Stateful Session Bean is activated.
@PrePassivate	Specify in a method that is called back immediately before Stateful Session Bean is passivated.
@Remote	Specify the remote business interface of Enterprise Beans. When an annotation is specified in an interface, that interface becomes a remote business interface.
@RemoteHome	Specify in an Enterprise Bean class that supports the invocation using a remote home interface, and remote component interface.
@Remove	Specify in a business method that deletes Stateful Session Beans.
@Schedule	Specify in a timeout method in which calendar base automatic generation timer of EJB timer service is called back.
@Schedules	Specify multiple@Schedules. Specify in a timeout method that is called back.
@Singleton	Specify this annotation in Singleton Session Bean class.
@Startup	Specify this annotation when a Singleton Session Bean starts concurrently with application start up. Specify this annotation in Singleton Session Bean class.
@Stateful	Specify in Stateful Session Bean class.
@Stateless	Specify in a Stateless Session Bean class.
@Timeout	Specify in a timeout method that is called back when TimerService is used.
@TransactionAttribute	Specify transaction attributes when Enterprise Bean operates in CMT.
@TransactionManagement	Specify the transaction management type of the Enterprise Bean.
