Chapter EJB.9. Entity Bean Component Contract


Note

Container support for entity beans is a mandatory feature in the EJB 1.1 release.


The entity bean component contract is the contract between an entity bean and its container. It defines the life cycle of the entity bean instances and the model for method delegation of the client-invoked business methods . The main goal of this contract is to ensure that a component is portable across all compliant EJB containers.

This chapter defines the enterprise bean provider's view of this contract and the container provider's responsibility for managing the life cycle of the enterprise bean instances.
