This page provides a starting point for finding information about enterprise beans.
Based on the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) specification, enterprise beans are Java components that typically implement the business logic of Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications as well as access data.
When you deploy an Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) module, you install that module on a server that has been configured to support deployed modules.
Each application server can have a single Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) container; one is created automatically for you when the application server is created. The following steps are to be performed only as needed to improve performance after the EJB application has been deployed.
You can configure and manage the EJB timer service for a specific EJB container.
You can manage the Java EE Connector Architecture (JCA) Version 1.5-compliant message-driven beans that you deploy as message endpoints, and you can manage the message listener resources for non-JCA message-driven beans that you deploy against listener ports.
