7.6. Design Guidelines and Patterns
Along with CMP entity beans, we've also introduced entity beans that maintain relationships with other entity beans. With the EJB 2.0 specification, it is possible to implement these relationship fields with container-managed relationships (CMR). Let's review the design elements and patterns that characterize the enterprise application presented in this chapter.
