What interface must the enterprise bean implement so that an application can invoke its operations?
Reponse: javax.ejb.EJBObject
The question is ambiguous: the enterprise bean remote object implements the remote interface which extends javax.ejb.EJBObject but the bean itself implements javax.ejb.SessionBean or javax.ejb.EntityBean

The enterprise bean from the client's perspective is not your javax.ejb.XBean. That is just the class the container delegates to. As the application sees it, the remote interface is the javax.ejb.EJBObject.
I'll agree it is fuzzy question. I hope their questions are better than this one.

In question 8 of the EJB exam, don't you think the correct answer is C? In the linked document, it says that an EJB is considered created after the data is inserted into the database. In the CMP entity bean, the data is NOT inserted into the database in ejbCreate. It is done by the container after ejbCreate finished. Any opinion is welcome.
Thanks.

Michael,
They want to know when the instance of the entity bean is created. At the completion of ejbCreate(), the instance is has been fully initialized by the container. All of the attributes have been assigned their values. Check out the spec, section 9.5.2, OID Fig 9-7.
