I think just the opposite.  EJB is less about business component re-use,
which we recently trashed here.  EJB is indeed about application servers.
Specifically, EJB allows me to write a middleware app and market it to
enterprises regardless of their entrenched application server (providing
it serves EJB).  EJB doesn't give component re-use so much as EJB gives
server neutrality/portability.  Most commercial EJBean development is
probably of EJB applications, not pieces.  EJB allows me to sell a
middleware app packaged atomically as a jar, without having to integrate
and re-sell an app server too.
