Whenever you build a web application, client-server application, or
multi-tier application, you need to have some sort of framework between the
client and the other tiers, for example, the database. How much framework
you have to build depends on your security, session management, and
performance requirements. Multi-tiered solutions usually require a lot of
security and session management. If you're using CORBA technologies, you
have to assemble your own framework from the CORBA Services. Whoever build
this framework needs to be fairly knowledgeable about security, session
management, CORBA Services, etc.

The EJB specification describes a standard for how this architectural
framework should work (API, responsibilities, et al). Venders, like
WebLogic, build this architectural framework for you. The primary advantage
is that people who have specialized technical skill in security and session
management build those components so you don't have to. You are left to
build application-specific beans that "fit" into the vender's containers.
The containers manage the session, security, and distribution stuff for you.
There's is also something called a "Deployment Descripter" that tells the
container important things like who can use your object and/or object
methods.
