In objectives of part1:

they said:

-----------------
# Explain and contrast uses for entity beans, entity classes, stateful and stateless session beans, and message-driven beans, and understand the advantages and disadvantages of each type.
# Explain and contrast the following persistence strategies: container-managed persistence (CMP) BMP, JDO, JPA, ORM and using DAOs (Data Access Objects) and direct JDBC technology-based persistence under the following headings: ease of development, performance, scalability, extensibility, and security.

What's the difference between entity beans and entity classes? Entity beans is easy to understand which is the one has bad reputation in pre-EJB3.0 and is replaced by new one JPA in EJB3.0.

But what's entity classes? JPA's POJO class used in EJB3.0?

Thanks.

You're right.
Entity class - this is a POJO annotated with @Entity.

I thought in Java EE 5 we no longer have Entity Beans , but just Entities? Why does the objective talk about Entity Beans?

'Officially' there are still Entity Beans in JEE5, but in effect these are the same as the entity beans as defined in J2EE 1.4, these are kept for backwards compatibility, but it is strongly advised to use JPA instead.

Cheers,

Java EE 5 has Entity Beans, but it's just the same Entity Beans as in J2EE 1.4.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
