- EJB's are distributed in the form of JAR files
- Unlike a typical JAR files, the programmer does not use the classes in the EJB JAR file directly
- The JAR files must be deployed to an EJB container
- Deployment varies widely between different EJB implementations
- Inprise's Application Server has a visual interface that shows deployed bean types, interfaces etc.
- Enhydra Enterprise (alpha release, Open Source) has no deployment tool at all, just explode the JAR file in the right place and run the server
- Once a bean (set of beans) has been deployed, its home objects should be visible in the JNDI
