EJB question

[BegTannic]

I have been reading up on somethings. And I have a question for everyone. Does spring really replace EJB's? I'm also learning how to program in EJB because it will be useful to know how to program in EJB. However, I will like to discuss this. Can we? Does spring really replace EJB's or do you still have to use them. (Developing server side for enterprise applications)

I'm just asking to get insight... More like a compare and contrast.. I'm just starting out and was going to look into EJB 3.0 too. However, if i don't need to than I won't. I just started programming in frameworks and this one is highly recommended and I'm the first one to venture off into springs. Any insight?

Hi,

Spring is not an alternative to J2EE framework. Its a framework to use J2EE framework easier.
Spring does not replace EJB. It makes EJB use easier by moving the EJB code to a POJO Class. For more details please read EJB document
