  Enterprise JavaBeans
  EJB
  
     <specification, business, programming> (EJB) A server-side
     component architecture for writing reusable business logic
     and portable enterprise applications.  EJB is the basis of
     Sun's Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE).
  
     Enterprise JavaBean components are written entirely in Java
     and run on any EJB compliant server.  They are operating system
     , platform, and middleware independent, preventing
     vendor lock-in.
  
     EJB servers provide system-level services (the "plumbing")
     such as transactions, security, threading, and
     persistence.
  
     The EJB architecture is inherently transactional,
     distributed, multi-tier, scalable, secure, and wire protocol
      neutral - any protocol can be used: IIOP,
     JRMP, HTTP, DCOM etc.  EJB 1.1 requires RMI for
     communication with components.  EJB 2.0 is expected to require
     support for RMI/IIOP.
  
     EJB applications can serve assorted clients: browsers, Java,
     ActiveX, CORBA etc.  EJB can be used to wrap legacy systems
     .
  
     EJB 1.1 was released in December 1999.  EJB 2.0 is in
     development.
  
     Sun claims broad industry adoption.  30 vendors are shipping
     server products implementing EJB.  Supporting vendors include
     IBM, Fujitsu, Sybase, Borland, Oracle, and
     Symantec.
  
     An alternative is Microsoft's MTS (Microsoft Transaction Server
     ).
