Tutorial: Using Container-Managed Relationships

This tutorial describes how the Financial Brokerage Service (FBS) sample application uses container-managed relationships (CMR), a feature introduced in the EJB 2.0 specification. CMR makes it much easier for bean developers to build applications based on tightly-coupled entities such as employees and departments or customers-orders-line items.

This tutorial assumes that you are familiar with the FBS and have installed and configured the required software as described in About the Financial Brokerage Service.
