70、for presenting business data to the end users. The data itself is typically acquired from the business tier and sometimes directly from the Enterprise</p><p>　　2. Business or EJB tier.</p><p>　　

71、This tier consists of Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) [24] that model the business logic of the enterprise application. These components provide persistence mechanisms and transactional support. The components in the EJB ti

72、er are invoked through remote invocations (RMI), in-JVM invocations or asynchronous message delivery, depending on the type of EJB component. The EJB specification defines several types of components. They differ in invo

81、 Programming Model</p><p>　　Before we describe basic J2EE components, let’s first address the issue of defining what a component is a software component is a unit of composition with contractually specified

82、interfaces and explicit context dependencies only. A software component can be deployed independently and is subject to composition by third parties [31].According to this definition the following entities which make up

83、a typical J2EE application would be considered application components (some exceptions given below):</p><p>　　? EJBs (session, entity, message-driven),</p><p>　　? Web components (servlets, JSPs)

84、,</p><p>　　? messaging destinations,</p><p>　　? Data sources,</p><p>　　EJB and Web components are deployed into their corresponding containers provided by the application server ven

85、dor. They have well-defined contracts with their containers that govern lifecycle, threading, persistence and other concerns. Both Web and EJB components use JNDI lookups to locate resources or other EJB components they

86、want to communicate with. The JNDI context in which these lookups are performed is maintained separately for each component by its container. Bindings messaging destinati</p><p>　　Server. A J2EE programmer e

87、xplicitly programs only EJBs and Web components. These custom-written components interact with each other and system services both implicitly and explicitly. For example, an EJB developer may choose explicit transaction
