There is a lot of interest in the role and use of Enterprise Java and Enterprise Java Beans, but most of it is focused on new web and e-business applications. Despite all the fuss, e-business application development isn't the only game in town, not by a long shot. So, is there a role for Enterprise Java, EJBs in traditional back-end systems development?
