SME: @tkburroughs Notes from 10.22 meeting: https://ibm.ent.box.com/notes/733291039453

• determine how best to organize, don't use task format of KC. Combine topics into a single page where it makes sense. Consider separate topics for EJB timers, if so, open a separate issue to track.
• don't duplicate generated info (eg https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_liberty/com.ibm.websphere.wlp.nd.multiplatform.doc/ae/twlp_config_ejbtime.html contains info that's already in the server config gen doc https://www.openliberty.io/docs/20.0.0.12/reference/config/ejbContainer.html#timerService) - just link to the relevant gen doc.

also see #801 and #944 , combine/coordinate as necessary.

Liberty KC Topics

• Developing EJB applications on Liberty  and child topics.

• Configuring Enterprise JavaBeans timer service

• Configuring Enterprise JavaBeans asynchronous methods

Prioritize remote EJB topics, and EJB lite as necessary for foundational understanding of OL offerings

And start from perspective of common user needs rather than what we have documented already (like we did with the security topics).

Other comments from initial KC audit with Alasdair (see spreadsheet): Don’t really use EJBs with JAX-RS very much. Or managed beans. From a JAX-RS perspective, he agrees that CDI is more important than EJB.
