In a well separated layer design, applicative layer should be independant of
persistance layer. So the use of a OODBMS or A RDBMS should not influate
modeling in the application layer.
Entity beans are clearly violating this separation rule. But from what i've
understood so far, session beans were designed to model process rather than
concept. Moreover, they have no persistance. So how can you use them to model
real-world entities ?
As they are powerful open-source RDBMS, and even hybrid DMBS available, this
question is important for people aiming public research project, rather than
e-business.
