Hello,

our team is developing a web app. One of the *requirements* is to remain stateless. In that case, do we pretty much rule out option of using Entity Bean?

Thanks,
P.Ingle

No. You can use EJBs(enity beans also).

All web application are stateless. You can still develop EJBs. Think Entity beans as your 'backend'. Session Beans(state less) as access layer to the backend.

Hi,

firstly, I'l say you to change the Name to follow proper naming poilicy of Java Ranch.

And yes regarding your query, if you use Stateless Session bean, you can surely use entity beans to be called from the S.Session beans, Infact that is very much commonly used in designing J2EE applications. And there are verious design patterns which states this method of calling Entity beans.

Cheers,
Rahul
