ejb = hibernate = persistence framework?

Is EJB only a persistence framework?

[graviton]

hibernate is just a persistence framework and thus only a part of the ejb specs, which also defines containers for the beans and more.

[jimmy6]

then can i use :
spring+hibernate = ejb = application framework

[graviton]

well, shurely spring+hibernate together are an application framework, but that doesn't mean it's ejb. hibernate implements the persistence layer of the ejb specifications. with spring, i'm not shure. have a look at the ejb specifications as well as the specs of spring.
