Entity Beans
by Dale Green
An entity bean represents an entity kept in a persistent storage mechanism, usually a database. A business application, for example, might use a database to store business entity objects such as accounts, customers, orders, and products. Inside the J2EE server, this application would represent the business entity objects with entity beans.
