Access beans

Access beans are Java components that adhere to the JavaBeans specification, and are meant to simplify the development of EJB clients. An access bean adapts an Enterprise bean to the Javanese programming model, by hiding the home and remote interfaces from the developer. They provide fast access to Enterprise beans by letting the developer maintain a local cache of Enterprise bean attributes. Access beans make it possible to use an Enterprise bean in much the same way that a JavaBean is used.

There are three types of access beans, which are listed in ascending order of complexity:

Data class: The simplest to use. It is designed to allow the Enterprise bean to be used like a standard JavaBean, and it hides the Enterprise bean home and remote interfaces from the developer.

Copy helper: This has all the characteristics of the data class access bean, but it also incorporates a single copy helper object that maintains a local copy
