Enterprise JavaBeans

Enterprise JavaBeans definition and benefit

What Is an Enterprise JavaBean?

Written in the Java programming language, an enterprise bean is a server-side component that encapsulates the business logic of an application. The business logic is the code that fulfills the purpose of the application. By invoking these methods, remote clients can access the services provided by the application.

Benefits of Enterprise JavaBeans

• For several reasons, enterprise beans simplify the development of large, distributed applications.
• Because the beans--and not the clients--contain the application's business logic, the client developer can focus on the presentation of the client.
• because enterprise beans are portable components, the application assembler can build new applications from existing beans.
