Entity Beans vs Java classes and Servlets

+Pie Number of slices to send: Send
Hi ranchers,
have been looking at EJBeans for a project I just got to see if they should be used. Got what is probably a simple question but can anyone tell when one should use entity beans and when should not. I can see how they work alright (and the obvious benefits of Container Managed Entity Beans) but am not sure on what occassions they should be used, especially Bean Managed Entity Beans instead of just using a class and some servlets to do the job with the DB. The same pretty much goes for session beans, could servlets just do the business processes such as validating.
Cheers in advance

You'll find plenty of discussion regarding this question if you do a search on this forum.
In short, most projects could do better without entity beans. Unless you need cluster-wide caching or something similarly complex, straight JDBC from plain old Java classes will do just fine.
