They are totally different. Bean is just a class with private
attributes handled with get and set methods. EJB's are
server components.

It depends what are you doing? If you want to learn how to develope
the enterprise applications then JBoss is good choise. WebSphere is
commercial product.

Hi All

I am a new user of Java. Please ans the followings. I would really
appriciate.

1. Is there any difference between Java Bean and Enterprise Java Bean(EJB),
if so, what is/are those?
2. As a programmer point of view, is there any difference between tomcat and
WebSphere or JBoss?

Thanks in advance

No correlation at all. Enterprise Java Bean was probably not the best name
for those, seeing the JavaBean came first...

Tomcat is a Servlet container. It serves Servlets and JSP content. It does
not server EJBs.

JBoss is an application server, it serves EJBs. It does not serve Servlets
or JSPs. (At least I don't believe it does. Never tried it. They provide a
pre-wired version with Tomcat or Jetty as the servlet container).

The typical web application environment would utilize both Tomcat (or Jetty
or other Servlet container) and JBoss (or JoNaS, or Enhydra or other
application server) as well as an http server like Apache or IIS, each piece
doing it's thing: Apache/IIS --> static content; Tomcat --> Servlets & JSP;
JBoss --> EJBs.

I think the specification also requires a public no-args constructor and
that the class should be serializable.
