JSP/Servlet Overview

Java Server Pages Merges HTML/XML template with content

dynamically generated with Java Extensible tag libraries Source is dynamically compiled on first use

Servlets Implement dynamic content with Java Built-in support for session and request management

EJB Overview

EJB Each EJB is an multi-user, transacted `service'

Session Bean Implements a `tool' or `application' service

Entity Beans Implements a service of long lived business entities

Container Managed Transactions Automatically wraps a method in a transaction

Session Beans

Stateful Session Beans Container manages client state in a bean's fields 'stateless' model is not forced on developers

Stateless Session Beans If there is no client state, container optimizes

management of EJB instances

Entity Beans

EJB defines model for 'persistent' beans Allows container to optimize their management Makes it easy to create a business object facade

Bean Managed Persistence Write your own SQL with JDBC/SQLJ

Container Managed Persistence Container handles moving data to/from bean Limited facility in EJB 1.1, enhancements in 2.0

J2EE Containers

Container vs Framework No complicated APIs Services are injected

Containers Manage Threads, transactions, administration, deployment,

distribution May also provide load balancing and fail-over All with no change to component code
