In the mock test, the answer for the following question is misleading from the test.
For a CMP Entity bean, what should the ejbCreate method return ? EJB specification) ?
According to the book I read, the answer is: null. However, the mock indicate the answer is: Remote interface.
Please comment.

The Mock Exam at the following site needs to be examined and corrected for answers. Otherwise it is misleading users. http://www.stormpages.com/jnagal/mock.html
I believe the owner of the mock examine is trying to help people. I feel thankful to him/her. However, its problems need to be fixed immediately.
best regards,

The only bean that will timeout is statefull session bean
state "Does not exists and referenced"
"... Attempted invocations on a session object
that does not exist result in java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException...."
see Section 5.6 EJB 1.1. Specification

Thanks for you reply.
The mock examine indicates the answer is:
ObjectNotFound Exception.

When a stateful session bean is in the passive state and it times out, if a client makes a reference to it.
Does the container try to restore the stateful sesion bean from the stored session data or does it throw an rmi.NoSuchObject exception???
Please comment.

My understanding is: if an object times out, it is destroyed by the container.
So it really does not matter whether it was in passivated state or not.

According to EJB spec. 1.1, ejbCreate() must return the primary key type (sec. 10.6.4).

Hi guys I took the partI. I did not find any question specific to EJB API, although I know it. So, don't spend time on the details. In EJB 1.1 ejbCreate() return PK. If it is CMP PK is null.

The mock exam your guys talking about is misleading.
