When I think of EJBs, I think of Richard P. Gabriel's book, Patterns of Software. He asks, "What is quality software?" and provides a nice list of guidelines. A few favorites:
- If I look at any small part of it, I can see what is going on--I don't need to refer to other parts to understand what something is doing; this tells me that the abstractions make sense for themselves--they are whole.
- If I look at any large part in overview, I can see what is going on--I don't need to see all the details to get it.
- I am not afraid of it, I will remember it.
