Description
The program violates the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) specification by using AWT/Swing.
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 AWT functionality to attempt to output information to a display, or to input information from a keyboard.” The specification justifies this requirement in the following way: “Most servers do not allow direct interaction between an application program and a keyboard/display attached to the server system.”
