Defining Defining EEnterprise nterprise JJavaavaBBeans(2)eans(2)

EJB is not JavaBeans

a Server Component specification for Java

Separates business and system programming

Portability of business objects

Extensibility through vendor features

6

Defining Defining JavaBeansJavaBeans(1)(1)A client-side component architecture

Portable, platform-independent component model written in the java programming language

Acts as a bridge between proprietary component models

Provides a seamless and powerful means for developers to build components that run in ActiveX container applications

What is component?What is component?

Components are made by assembling objects.

13

Component SystemComponent System

Component system is fundamental for assembling and managing components.

14

Client componentClient component

Component = button, list, spread sheet, etc.

Container = window, form, etc.

EJB component feature(1)EJB component feature(1)Include business logic

Produce and manage instance at run time

Can be customized by editing environment entry.

Service information is separated from EJB class. This makes Service information to be managed by tools when assembling and deploying application.

Client can access EJB through container.

25

EJB component feature(2)EJB component feature(2)

If EJB uses services which are defined in EJB specification, EJB can be deployed in all EJB containers.

EJB don’t need recompiling and editing source code.
