It can be either. JDO is a mechanism for persisting Java Objects. An Entity Bean
is a server-side container of a single business object with complete lifecycle
management. Part of this lifecycle includes loading and saving the object to a
database. JDO can be used in a BMP implementation to achieve this.

Others in this thread have alluded that using Stateless Session Beans (SLSB) to
access and persist JDO objects would be a better approach. They indicate some
(specious) concerns regarding JDO as a "lighter" approach in many circumstances.
I am trying to point out that this is not the case...at least not the case in
any of the examples given so far...
