hello bipin,
             the names Java Beans and Enterprise Java Beans might sound syn
onymous to u but actually there's a vast difference in their utilities. EJB
 is a technology we use for distributed computing. You might suggest that s
uch interaction between components is possible through other means also suc
h as RMI, Infobus etc., but actually when u think about developing a seriou
s e-business application, then concerns such as server memory management, s
ecurity, databse connectivity, network traffic, transaction, data integrity
 etc. all come into the picture. It is under such circumstances that we res
ort to the EJB application servers which take these responsibilties on thei
r shoulders. As developers, we need to be concerned only about the business
 logic. And I believe that writting beans and deploying them is far simpler
 than actually what the server does to run this application securely and ef
ficiently. If u go through one of the best EJB books in the market then u w
ill actually understand how efficient is the complexity management system o
f such servers.
