Well I got off my duff and RTFM and found I wasn't imagining having seen it
somewhere. This is from Java Enterprise in a Nutshell 1st ed.
(1-56592-483-5) page 174:

"So, you mak ask, how are EJB components different from regular distributed
objects built using RMI or local (nondistributed) components defined using
the JavaBeans component model?  Well, they aren't, really.  An EJB component
is an RMI object, in the sense that it's exported as a remote object using
RMI.  And an EJB component is also a JavaBeans component, since it has
properties that can be introspected, and it uses the JavaBeans conventions
for defining accessor methods for its properties."

Of course that isn't necessarily gospel.  I haven't had the time (or
caffeine) to read the EJB spec yet, so I'm hoping that someone who has, (or
has similar experience) will pipe up with a definitive link or reference to
something.  Frankly, I think if would be a big deal to be able to think of
an EJB along the lines of a regular JavaBean.

Thanks,
Ken
