JavaBeans are objects that let you encapsulate data, functionality, and behavior. You can access a JavaBean through JSP tags.
EJB's are also reusable components but that is were the commonality ends. EJB's have a different set of interfaces and are not accessible directly and you need to go through an EJB container. The EJB container provides many services which EJB's can use including security, transactions, and persistence. The container also manages all communication to the beans as well as handling bean multithreading. So, if you have a complex system that requires transaction management, for instance, you should look into using EJB's but if you simply need to encapsulate some data or simple behavior then you should look at JavaBeans.
