The J2EE PetStore application was created as an educational tool to showcase features available in a J2EE architecture. True, it has many more EJB's then required in a normal application but these EJB's are meant to be examples of how the technology can be used. PetStore shows by example various design patterns and is not meant to be a benchmarked application.
Microsoft is really missing the point in their benchmark. In their port they don't have a middle tier. They are really missing the meat of the architecture and essentially have a database accessible through webpages. It is this middle tier, through the use of EJBs, that allows pluggability and reusability of business logic. It is quite telling that Microsoft targeted a strawman, non-optimized, education focused application instead of an official J2EE benchmark like ECPerf.
