EJB Complexity Unpacked

EJB has faced criticism for its complexity and inadequate security measures, particularly its role-based approach that fails to address data dependency. Both Markus and Eberhard argue that the evolution of EJB has been slow, with insufficient improvements over time, leading to a programming model that often complicates rather than simplifies development. They emphasize the importance of distinguishing between programming models and infrastructure, highlighting how historical context has shaped current perceptions of EJB.
