Goals of Enterprise JavaBeans
Allow application developer to concentrate on business logic, instead of systems details of distributed systems, transaction logic, database access, security, scalability and integration with existing systems.
Cross-platform capability - using Java means “write once run anywhere”.
Logical extension of JavaBeans component programming.
Existing non-Java enterprise applications can be used as components.
Certain behaviors such as security and transactions should be set as properties of the component, instead of hand-programmed.
