Extended Description
AI Translation
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 java.io package to attempt to access files and directories in the file system.' The specification justifies this requirement in the following way: 'The file system APIs are not well-suited for business components to access data. Business components should use a resource manager API, such as JDBC, to store data.'
