session bean and CMP

[sitaram irrinki]

what is the difference between stateless session bean& CMP

[David McDonagh]

From a high level, a CMP is an entity bean, which should really only be used for database transactions i.e. select, update, remove. You most likely would call CMP from other type of beans/Java clients to perform those functions. It is good practice to keep your database transactions away from your application logic.
Stateless Session beans and CMP have different bean lifecycles and different requirements ... do u require a list?
