An Enterprise JavaBean consists of many parts; it's not a single object, but a collection of objects and interfaces. To refer to an Enterprise JavaBean as a whole, we use the name of its remote interface in Roman type. For example, we will refer to the BaggageHandler bean when we want to talk about the bean in general. If we put the name in a constant width font, we are referring explicitly to the bean's remote interface. So BaggageHandler is the remote interface that defines the business methods of the BaggageHandler bean.
