A session bean might now subclass another session bean

New in Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.1, a session bean might now subclass another session bean. Prior versions of the EJB specification restricted a session bean from inheriting from another session bean.

Important: This new support only enables implementation inheritance but does not provide component inheritance. Therefore, any meta data or annotations on the superclass that defined it to be an enterprise bean, will not be inherited by the subclass.
