isIdentical() method

[Madhu Juneja]

In case of isIdentical() method for Entity Beans, it checks whether the Primary Keys are equal or not. How does the isIdentical() work for Stateless and Stateful Session Beans ?
Thanks

Madhu,
Even for stateless and Stateful session beans there is an identity. However this identity is not reveled to the Client. The isIdentical() is a remote method of the RemoteObject and is implemented by the specific vendor. Hence we do not know how it is implemented. what we do know is that we can find out if two session beans are identical or not.
