<meta name="Description" content="EnterpriseJavaBean is a class. It can have instances, someone could write an instance document containing Departments and Employees. It also has attributes, operations, and associations. These are actually derived/filtered from its implementation classes and interfaces. For mapping and browsing purposes, though, you would like the EJB to appear as a class. In this light, even Session Beans can have associations and properties implemented by their bean. For example, it would be meaningful to describe associations from a Session to the Entities which it uses to perform its work.">
