Entity Beans Course Introduction


		Entity Beans Course Introduction
		You have made a wise decision by investing your time in the Enterprise JavaBeans series. This series explores three topics: Distributed transactions Entity beans EJB security This course covers the use of distributed transactions to ensure the completeness of the interactions between clients, Enterprise JavaBeans, and databases. After a discussion of transactions, the course introduces Entity beans, which provide access to persistent information stored in a database such as DB2 version 8, Oracle 8i, 9i or 10g. Included are both forms of entity beans: bean-managed persistence and container-managed persistence. I will then begin to discuss the components that make up Entity beans. The final part of this course discusses how to add security to your EJB environments. The concepts learned in this course will be applied to the BankAccount project exercise. This exercise began in the first course of the Enterprise JavaBeans (known as EJB Architecture) series and continues here.
