Session Beans

Session Beans are business process objects that perform actions. An action may be opening an account, transferring funds, or performing a calculation. Session Beans consist of the remote, home, and bean classes. A client gets a reference to the Session Bean's home interface in order to create the Session Bean remote object, which is essentially the bean's factory. The Session Bean is exposed to the client with the remote interface. The client uses the remote interface to invoke the bean's methods. The actual implementation of the Session Bean is done with the bean class.
