Summary
In this chapter, were introduced to session beans, and it was explained how
NetBeans can help us speed up session bean development. We covered how
Enterprise JavaBeans in general, and session beans in particular, allow us to easily
implement transaction strategies in our enterprise applications. We also covered
how we can implement Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) with session beans
via interceptors. Additionally, we looked at how session beans can have one of
their methods invoked periodically by the EJB container, by taking advantage of
the EJB Timer Service. Lastly, we covered how NetBeans can help speed up the
implementation of the data access layer of our applications by generating session
beans implementing the Data Access Object (DAO) design pattern automatically.
