Mixing javaveans and ejb

[jeromr]

Hi all,

Is it possible to mix javabeans and ejb ?

I have to manipulate some simple objects into
my session beans, but i don't need this objects
to be persistent. Is it a bad design to replace
entities beans with javabeans in this case ?

Entity Beans and JavaBeans are two entirely different things. It is bad
design to use Entity Beans where JavaBeans could have sufficed. Entity
Beans (and the EJB container) provides lots of services to the
programmer, and if they're not needed, it's a waste of resources to use
them.
