<H3><A NAME="FAQ-GENERAL-TRANSMGMT">What is Transaction Management
?</A></H3>
+ <p>A transaction is an atomic and reliable unit of program execution
+ . Transactions systems are invaluable in any system that support
+ concurrent processing. For example, if multiple clients are using
+ the same database table concurrently, it's possible that the
+ database write operations they perform could leave the table in an
+ inconsistent state. With transactional support, each user see a
+ transaction as an operation that either completes successfully or
+ not at all. The possibility of inconsistencies arising as result of
+ their interleaved database operations is removed. </p>
+ <p>The Enterprise JavaBeans architecture provides automatic support
+ for distributed transactions in component based applications. Such
+ distributed transactions can atomically update data in multiple
+ databases. The burden of managing transactions is thus shifted from
+ the bean developer to the EJB container and/or server.</p>
<P>Read chapter 11 of the EJB 1.1 spec if you are interested in knowing
more about Transaction Management.</P>

<H3><A NAME="FAQ-GENERAL-PERSISTENCE">What is Bean / Container Managed
Persistence ?</A></H3>
+ <p>With respect to Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), persistence is a
+ term that describes the process whereby the the state of an active
(stateful?)
+ EJB is stored (usually to a database) in such a way that the EJB can
+ be reactivated later. It is serialization for EJBs if you like.</p>
+ <p>There are two flavours of persistence in EJB - Bean-Manage
+ Persistence (BMP) and Container-Managed Persistence (CMP). The main
+ difference between the two flavours is who is responsible for
<i>actually</i>
+ persisting the EJB. In BMP the bean developer is responsible for
+ writing the code that persists the beans state (maybe using JDBC?)
+ while in CMP, the container is reponsible. In CMP a bean developer
+ might not even <i>know</i> what object-relational database
+ persistence is let alone how it works?. Pretty neat.</p>
+ <p>A relevant excerpt from the <a
href="http://java.sun.com/products/ejb/docs.html">EJB
+ 1.1. specification</a> itself, on page 100:</p>
<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
at deployment time (container-managed persistence)."<BR>
