Naming Conventions for Enterprise Beans

Because enterprise beans are composed of multiple parts, it’s useful to follow a naming convention for your applications. Table 14-2 summarizes the conventions for the example beans in this tutorial.

Table 14-2 Naming Conventions for Enterprise Beans

Item	Syntax	Example
Enterprise bean name	name`Bean`	`AccountBean`
Enterprise bean class	name`Bean`	`AccountBean`
Business interface	name	`Account`
