Definitely. See below for pointers if you want to play around with the
technology.

Course for corporate training. Need any? =)
Actually the EJB part is just the last day in a 5-day JavaBeans class.
(And of course EJB despite the name isn't similar to JavaBeans much at all
except that they're both component technologies)

EJBHome doesn't quite qualify as open source, but you can download their
beta versions for free (they're at ejbhome.iona.com now). www.ejboss.org
is the only one I've been able to get a hold of (m31.org and openejb.org
seem to be down) but their server is not quite standard and doesn't
support entity beans yet.
