" summary

Retrospective and hands-on dive that explains how EJBs now work: annotation-driven since EJB 3.0 (no XML), EJB Lite in 3.1, and EJB 3.2 in Java EE 8; the container provides EJB pooling and proxy model that yields thread safety, transactions, passivation and scheduling for free; cites benchmarks (JMH and community tests) showing 0.1% CPU overhead and ~35% better ops/sec vs CDI and a GitHub repo comparing EJB, CDI and Spring; watch for concrete measurements, pooling behavior, and code links.
