EJB.2.2 Goals for Release 1.0

In Release 1.0, we focused on the following:

• Defined the distinct "EJB Roles" that are assumed by the component architecture.

• Defined the client view of enterprise beans.

• Defined the enterprise bean developer's view.

• Defined the responsibilities of an EJB container provider and server provider; together these make up a system that supports the deployment and execution of enterprise beans.

• Defined the format of the EJB JAR file, EJB's unit of deployment.
