Title: Simplifying EJB development with EJB 3.0

Abstract

The J2EE? platform enables the creation of enterprise applications without having the programmer to worry about daunting tasks like authorization issues or transaction management for example. Although the current Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) 2.1 framework succeeds in this, the programmer is often frustrated by having to generate a lot of additional code, like deployment descriptors, and business interfaces. The open source community JBoss adapted the Enterprise JavaBean 2.1 framework with the use of Plain Old Java Objects (POJO), but still maintaining the great advantages the J2EE? containers provide. The POJO framework is now making its way of becoming standardized in J2EE? applications with the EJB 3.0 framework.

In this talk I will discuss The EJB 2.1 framework with its downsides, and move forward to the more elegant POJO franework approach introduced by JBoss. After this I will discuss the EJB 3.0 framework.
