Databases & beans

a lot of experience doing network

programming. Enterprise JavaBeans are designed to abstract out networking and

storage logic, which ends up being very helpful, but is confusing at first, because so

much happens behind the scenes that is not explicitly controlled by your code. For

example, when you deal with a single Enterprise JavaBean, at least five different

objects are actually being instantiated!

But it s great once you get past the initial learning stage, which can last a while.

There are lots of good books on EJB, but I found Ed Roman s "Mastering Enterprise

JavaBeans" to be a great primer.
