Chapter EJB.7. Example Session Scenario

This chapter describes an example development and deployment scenario of a session bean. We use the scenario to explain the responsibilities of the bean provider and those of the container provider.

The classes generated by the container provider's tools in this scenario should be considered illustrative rather than prescriptive. Container providers are free to implement the contract between a session bean and its container in a different way, provided that it achieves an equivalent effect (from the perspectives of the bean provider and the client-side programmer).
