J2EE Programming Class Part II

❍ Announcements from Sang Shin

■ This session is about Entity beans. Entity bean is a lot more complex beast than a

session bean since it involves backend database. So we have a very large

number of slides here (almost 230 slides) and it will take sometime for you to
digest it.
■ During the past several years, entity beans have reviewed mixed reviews from the

J2EE community in general regarding its usefulness. There are some truths and
there are some myths in those thinkings. We will avoid this discussion for now
and focus our attention to understanding "What i entity bean and how it works".
