I really don't like this.
Me either.

This is better.
I agree.
As I said before, I prefer bean to type/class/EJB
Yeah, "bean" seems less overloaded than the other terms here.
Web Bean -> contextual bean
simple Web Bean -> contextual JavaBean
enterprise Web Bean -> contextual EJB
On the whole, though, I think Web Beans is a better name. It has a lot of
recognition already. It seems less boring than the alternatives mentioned
here.
I also feel like "simple web bean" will be easier for me to say as I talk to
my coworkers about them; "contextual Java class" doesn't come out as nice.
I understand that the "web" part of web beans is non optimal, but I haven't
seen anything that I believe is better. If I think of something I'll speak
up.
