+ <h3><font face="Myriad Web,Arial"><a name="FAQ-GENERAL-EJB">What is
+ Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) ?</a></font></h3>
+ <p><font face="Myriad Web,Arial">Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) is a <a
href="http://java.sun.com/products/ejb/docs.html">specification
+ and architecture</a> for the development and deployment of
component-based,
+ distributed business applications on the Java platform. It is a
+ significant part of Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) - a unified
+ architecture and platform for delivering the benefits of the Java
+ platform to the server-based computing environment.</font></p>
+ <p><font face="Myriad Web,Arial">A business component that is developed
+ for the Enterprise JavaBean architecture is also confusingly called
+ an Enterprise JavaBean. These components may be written once, and
+ then deployed on any server platform that supports the Enterprise
+ JavaBeans specification. A key goal of the EJB architecture is to
+ make the job of developing EJB components and the client applications
+ that access them very simple indeed. Much of this is achieved by
+ defining an architectural entity called a <i>container</i> - an
+ EJB container - that acts as a buffer between EJB components and
+ their client as well as between EJB components and the very complex
+ reality of developing scalable, distributed systems. An EJB container
+ is itself contained within an <i>EJB server</i>.</font></p>
+ <p><font face="Myriad Web,Arial">Further information about Enterprise
+ JavaBeans is available on the <a

+ <H3><A NAME="FAQ-GENERAL-JAVABEANS">Are JavaBeans different from
Enterprise
+ JavaBeans ?</A></H3>
+ <P>Yes, JavaBeans are different from Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs).
+ Both JavaBeans and EJBs are units of packaged functionality but they
+ are designed to function in a very specific and different
+ environments. JavaBeans facilitate black box reuse of visual and
+ non-visual components within JavaBean-aware IDEs. EJBs on the other
+ hand are non-visual components that can only be deployed in an
EJB-compliant
+ Java application server. </P>
+ <P> JavaBeans are basically just classes executed
+ in the JVM, but EJBs are managed objects that are deployed within
+ an application server. JavaBeans may be driven by events, but EJBs
+ are currently just driven by remote method calls.</P>

+ <H3><A NAME="FAQ-GENERAL-JAS">What is a Java Application Server
?</A></H3>
+ <P>In the current context, a Java application server is a
+ sophisticated software system that provide a run-time environment
+ for executing components written in Java. The widespread adoption of
+ the EJB standard from the J2EE specification has ensured that a well
+ written component can be without additional development work
+ deployed in almost all Java application servers.</P>

+ <P> </P>
+ <H3><A NAME="FAQ-GENERAL-DEPLOYMENT">What does Deployment mean
?</A></H3>
+ <P>Deployment is the act of preparing and sending the bean(s) to the
+ application server to become available as application components.
+ In preparation for deployment, any resources that the bean provider
+ has used in the code must be associated with real resources,
transactional
+ attirbutes may be specified, security attributes may be set, and
+ any other container-specific settings will all be specified in
deployment
+ descriptors. The compiled code and the deployment descriptors will
+ all be jarred together into an application jar and then the jar
+ will be placed in the necessary location for the application server
+ to use. The final act of deployment is the application server parsing
+ the deployment descriptors, preparing the container environment,
+ and then binding the bean names to the naming service to make them
+ available for calls.</P>

+ <H3><A NAME="FAQ-GENERAL-PERSISTENCE">What is Bean / Container Managed

+ <P>"The entity bean component protocol allows the entity Bean Provider
+ either to implement the entity bean's persistence directly in the
+ entity bean class or in one or more helper classes provided with
+ the entity bean class (bean-managed persistence), or to delegate
+ the entity bean's persistence to the Container Provider tools used

+ <P>This is a very common question and there are a couple options.
+ The key is to provide the correct server into the environment so
+ that InitialContext performs its lookup on the correct machine.
+ One option is to set a couple system properties with the correct
+ information, another is to hard-code the properties, and a third
+ option is to use a standard jndi.properties file. Forget the
hard-code
+ option, here are the others:</P>
+ <UL>
+ <LI>System Properties Specify java.naming.factory.initial and
java.naming.provider.url
+ when you start your client. <code>
+ <pre>
+ java -cp $CLASSPATH
-Djava.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
+ -Djava.naming.provider.url=remote.host.name
org.opengroupware.logic.test.AuthenticateTest
+ </pre>
+ </code> </LI>
+ <LI>jndi.properties Create a file called jndi.properties with the
+ following two lines (and put the jndi.properties file into the
+ classpath of the client): <code>
+ <pre>
+ java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
+ java.naming.provider.url=remote.host.name
+ </pre>
+ </code> </LI>
+ </UL>
+ <P>For both of the options above, the instantiation of the
InitialContext
+ with use the default constructor:
+ <code>
+ <pre>
+ Object reference = new InitialContext().lookup( "encryption.NoCrypt"
);
+</pre>
+ </code> Obviously, you need to narrow that object reference - this
+ is just an example of getting a reference from JNDI.

<p><font face="Myriad Web,Arial">The first version of the
jBoss FAQ was created by Kunle Odutola in March 2000. The style and presentation of
this FAQ borrows from many numerous FAQs that the author has been exposed to. The FAQ
is currently maintained on behalf of the jBoss community by Kunle Odutola. If an
answer isn't directly attributed to anyone, chances are Kunle Odutola entered it. Most
of the wisdom contained in the answers presented here however comes from the
collective insights and diligence of the many others who inhabit the jBoss mailing
list(s) and the EJB world-at-large. Particular mention goes to the following people
from the jBoss mailing list:</font></p>

<h3><font face="Myriad Web,Arial"><a
name="FAQ-GENERAL-EJB">What is Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) ?</a></font></h3>
-
<p><font face="Myriad Web,Arial">Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)
is a <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/ejb/docs.html">specification and
architecture</a> for the development and deployment of component-based, distributed
business applications on the Java platform. It is a significant part of Java 2
Enterprise Edition (J2EE) - a unified architecture and platform for delivering the
benefits of the Java platform to the server-based computing environment.</font></p>
-
<p><font face="Myriad Web,Arial">A business component that is
developed for the Enterprise JavaBean architecture is also confusingly called an
Enterprise JavaBean. These components may be written once, and then deployed on any
server platform that supports the Enterprise JavaBeans specification. A key goal of
the EJB architecture is to make the job of developing EJB components and the client
applications that access them very simple indeed. Much of this is achieved by defining
an architectural entity called a <i>container</i> - an EJB container - that acts as a
buffer between EJB components and their client as well as between EJB components and
the very complex reality of developing scalable, distributed systems. An EJB container
is itself contained within an <i>EJB server</i>.</font></p>

Enterprise JavaBeans is available on the <a

<h3><font face="Myriad Web,Arial"><a
name="FAQ-GENERAL-EJBOSS">What is jBoss ?</a></font></h3>
-
<p><font face="Myriad Web,Arial">Basically, jBoss is an
application server written in Java that can host business components developed in
Java. The interface and architecture of the jBoss application server, the Java
business components that can be hosted inside jBoss and various protocols by which a
client application (or other business componts) can interact with the business
components is defined by the <a
href="http://java.sun.com/products/ejb/docs.html">Enterprise JavaBeans
specification</a>.</font></p>
-
<p><font face="Myriad Web,Arial">jBoss v1.0 is an
implementation of an EJB v1.1 server. The jBoss server is developed as an Open Source
server using 100% Pure Java. We are working very hard to ensure that jBoss becomes
<i>the</i> premier EJB server for the Java 2 Enterprise Edition.</font></p>

+ <P>java:comp/env is used to prefix a resource that the bean is looking
+ up in the JNDI naming context. Looking up other bean or resources
+ are examples where you would prefix the JNDI name that the resource

+ <P>Basically, accessing or referencing beans in a different jar should
+ be the same as if the beans were in the same jar. Configure EJB
+ references as described in section 14.3 of EJB 1.1 Spec and use
+ JNDI to find the bean as any other resource.</P>
