Is there a solution to find out when to use a Session bean or Entity Bean?

Entity EJBs are intended to correspond to components in the persistent storage. So, for example, you'd implement an Entity Bean for "user" data if your database had a "user" table.

Session EJBs are intended to correspond to business components &processing. Session Beans encapsulate Entity Beans, as required, to perform tasks.

You're best perusing a book on the subject like the "___ in a Nutshell" or "Core Java" series.
