Hello Edward, They have nothing in common. enterprise java beans are part of the EJB spec and are enterprise components running in an application server whereas MBeans are Managed Beans that are part of the JMX spec. An MBean represent a resource that can be managed in a standard way. See the JMX spec for more information.
So, from a pure spec point of view, they have nothing in common. But from a JBoss point of view, MBeans are the standard piece of construct of any JBoss service. Consequently, in JBoss (and in JBoss only), any EJB *container* is an MBean. For more information: - read the EJB spec or any related book - read the JMX spec or Juha's book (Sam's Publishing) - read JBoss 3.0 administration guide: JBoss' architecture is detailed Good luck.

Can any one tell me the difference between an Enterprise(Session and Entity Beans) and an MBean. Yeah I know its got something to do with JMX, BUT WHERE does it all fit in (the MBeans). I just learnt about coding session and entity beans, and then WHAM from nowhere comes MBEANS and some thing called an MBean server . Please can anyone help a lil brother out.
