Let's start with this, What you think is the difference between a POJO and a non-POJO?

And this is really looking like a beginning question!

Hi Steve,

I dont have idea regarding the POJO. So i am unable to express the difference . If you Know can you please share your veiws.

Do you know what an EJB is? POJO is usually used in contrast to EJBs, and usually it's used when saying "you don't need EJBs, you can just use POJOs." In other words, "using POJOs" basically just means "not using EJBs."

Hi

I am little bit confused with Ernest wording. If i am not wrong if i am using POJO means its no EJB as per Ernest

But when i am reading through EJB 3.0 we are using annotation with POJOs.
I am reading one of article published by Chris, In that i hope he mentioned that POJOs will not implement any special interfaces. But when i am working with session bean i am implementing the local and remote interfaces . can i know what is meaning for special interfaces which was mentioned by chris
