extends Object
```
The method element is used to denote a method of an enterprise bean's home or remote interface, or a set of methods. The ejb-name element must be the name of one of the enterprise beans in declared in the deployment descriptor; the optional method-intf element allows to distinguish between a method with the same signature that is defined in both the home and remote interface; the method-name element specifies the method name; and the optional method-params elements identify a single method among multiple methods with an overloaded method name. There are three possible styles of the method element syntax: 1. EJBNAME * This style is used to refer to all the methods of the specified enterprise bean's home and remote interfaces. 2. EJBNAME METHOD > This style is used to refer to the specified method of the specified enterprise bean. If there are multiple methods with the same overloaded name, the element of this style refers to all the methods with the overloaded name. 3.
EJBNAME METHOD PARAM-1 PARAM-2 ... PARAM-n
This style is used to refer to a single method within a set of methods with an overloaded name. PARAM-1 through PARAM-n are the fully-qualified Java types of the method's input parameters (if the method has no input arguments, the method-params element contains no method-param elements). Arrays are specified by the array element's type, followed by one or more pair of square brackets (e.g. int[][]). Used in: method-permission and container-transaction Examples: Style 1: The following method element refers to all the methods of the EmployeeService bean's home and remote interfaces: EmployeeService * Style 2: The following method element refers to all the create methods of the EmployeeService bean's home interface: EmployeeService create Style 3: The following method element refers to the create(String firstName, String LastName) method of the EmployeeService bean's home interface. EmployeeService create java.lang.String java.lang.String The following example illustrates a Style 3 element with more complex parameter types. The method foobar(char s, int i, int[] iar, mypackage.MyClass mycl, mypackage.MyClass[][] myclaar) would be specified as: EmployeeService foobar char int int[] mypackage.MyClass mypackage.MyClass[][] The optional method-intf element can be used when it becomes necessary to differentiate between a method defined in the home interface and a method with the same name and signature that is defined in the remote interface. For example, the method element EmployeeService Remote create java.lang.String java.lang.String can be used to differentiate the create(String, String) method defined in the remote interface from the create(String, String) method defined in the home interface, which would be defined as EmployeeService Home create java.lang.String java.lang.String Java class for MethodElement complex type.

  - getEnterpriseBeans
```
public List<EnterpriseBean> getEnterpriseBeans()
```
    Gets the value of the enterpriseBeans property. This accessor method returns a reference to the live list, not a snapshot. Therefore any modification you make to the returned list will be present inside the JAXB object. This is why there is not a set method for the enterpriseBeans property. For example, to add a new item, do as follows:
```
 getEnterpriseBeans().add(newItem);
 
```
    Objects of the following type(s) are allowed in the list EnterpriseBean
  - getDescriptions
```
public List<Description> getDescriptions()
```
    Gets the value of the descriptions property. This accessor method returns a reference to the live list, not a snapshot. Therefore any modification you make to the returned list will be present inside the JAXB object. This is why there is not a set method for the descriptions property. For example, to add a new item, do as follows:
```
 getDescriptions().add(newItem);
 
```
    Objects of the following type(s) are allowed in the list Description
  - getExtensions
```
public List<Extension> getExtensions()
```
    Gets the value of the extensions property. This accessor method returns a reference to the live list, not a snapshot. Therefore any modification you make to the returned list will be present inside the JAXB object. This is why there is not a set method for the extensions property. For example, to add a new item, do as follows:
```
