Enterprise JavaBeans is a server-side component technology intended to help solve a particular class of business problems. Despite these good intentions, the technology often comes up short. In some cases, the technologies can let us down. In others, we can stumble blindly into common pitfalls. This presentation will tour designs gone bad -- expressed as antipatterns -- when session, entity, and message-driven beans are misused.
