I would assert you don't need the Session Facade as one of the advantages of the Session Facade is it's ability to abstract the low level operations of the Session EJBs from upper layers of your architecture. You could probably have your actions talking to a Business Delegate layer or your DAO layer directly. Of course, this is just one viewpoint.

My question is that if we are not going to use EJB(but we do have DAO-data access object), does it still make sense to use session facade?
