The new spec simply says (Chapter 9), "Note: Container support for entity
beans is a mandatory feature in the EJB 1.1 release.". It then goes on to
describe the two persistence models (9.1.3), without saying anything about
them being optional. In fact, the following paragraph (again 9.1.3) seems
to indicate that the bean provider should be provided with both persistence
methods:
The entity bean component protocol allows the entity Bean Provider
either to implement the entity bean?s persistence directly in the entity
bean class or in one or more helper classes provided with the entity
bean class (bean-managed persistence), or to delegate the entity
bean?s persistence to the Container Provider tools used at
deployment time (container-managed persistence).
Thanks for any clarification on this.
