Term Definition: Enterprise JavaBean (EJB)
Main Description
An EJB is a non-visual, remote object designed to run on a server and be invoked by clients. An EJB can be built out of multiple, non-visual JavaBeans. EJBs are intended to live on one machine and be invoked remotely from another machine. They are platform-independent. Once a bean is written, it can be used on any client or server platform that supports Java.
