variant
Java

The Enterprise JavaBeans specification requires that every bean provider follow a set of programming guidelines designed to ensure that the bean will be portable and behave consistently in any EJB container. In this case, the product violates the following EJB guideline: 'An enterprise bean must not use the AWT functionality to attempt to output information to a display, or to input information from a keyboard.' The specification justifies this requirement in the following way: 'Most servers do not allow direct interaction between an application program and a keyboard/display attached to the server system.'
