What is Session Bean?
Session bean represents a single client inside the J2EE server. To access the application deployed in the server the client invokes methods on the session bean. The session bean performs the task shielding the client from the complexity of the business logic. Session bean components implement the javax.ejb.SessionBean interface. Session beans can act as agents modeling workflow or provide access to special transient business services. Session beans do not normally represent persistent business concepts. A session bean corresponds to a client server session. The session bean is created when a client requests some query on the database and exists as long as the client server session exists.
