Clients written to the new EJB 3.0 API

A client written to the EJB 3.0 API may be a client of a component written to the EJB 2.1 or earlier API. Such clients may access components written to the EJB 3.0 APIs and components written to the earlier EJB APIs within the same transaction. Such clients access components written to the earlier EJB APIs using the EJB 2.1 client view home and component interfaces. The EJB annotation may be used for the injection of home interfaces into components that are clients of beans written to the earlier EJB client view.
