Description
The program violates the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) specification by using the java.io package.
The Enterprise JavaBeans specification requires that every bean provider follow a set of programming guidelines designed to ensure that the bean will be portable and behave consistently in any EJB container. In this case, the program violates the following EJB guideline: “An enterprise bean must not use the java.io package to attempt to access files and directories in the file system.” The specification justifies this requirement in the following way: “The file system APIs are not well-suited for business components to access data. Business components should use a resource manager API, such as JDBC, to store data.”
