I hear these nebulous references to the EJB spec all
the time so I yanked it up to really read it.
I assert that there is no actual prohibition against
socket or java.io file usage in enterprise beans. The
recommendation against these activities is listed in a
section that commences thus:
"This section describes the programming restrictions
that a Bean Provider must follow to ensure that the
enterprise bean is portable and can be deployed in any
compliant EJB Container."
So I interpret this to mean that if you DO use java.io
files or sockets in any way in your EJBs, you may be
threataning the PORTABILITY of your beans. This is
because of significant differences in the way that the
OS implement these operations.
