yamini,
Instance is a
java runtime realization of what the bean code is supposed to be ... therefore we can say that one instance is a copy of the bean, it's mean that "bean"
word may be a "instance".
This is the same trick that you can see when HFE make reference to
EJB Container and EJB Server ....
Is that engough ??? let me know ...
