I formulated my understanding of everyone's answer to my question into list.
Is this a fair synopsis about the purpose of EJB?
In terms of scalability:
- They provide instance pooling, which allow for scalable execution of
resource-intensive tasks.
- Entity beans provide a framework that allows for caching of rows of a
database.
In terms of programming:
- They provide a distributed component model
- Entity beans provide a standardized object-relational mapping
- They offer a consistent interface for transactions
- They offer a consistent interface for method-level security
- Entity beans allow rapid application development by means of Container
Managed Persistence.
In terms of deployment:
- Deployment attributes removed from the code
- Runs on a multitude of application servers
