Hi Keith,
I noticed that the ejbCreate method calls the abstract version of all the setters except for setAddress. Why is that?
In my copy of the book, setAddress() is called (the line just before "return null").
Also, what is the meaning of the null return value? I suppose the answer to this question will be revealed as I continue my reading.
I may tell you it will be hard to find the answer in the book !
It comes from the specs themselves : BMP entity beans must return the primary key from ebjCreate(), while CMP beans must return null. Just think of the fact that with CMP beans the container knows which field(s) make the primary key.
Best,
Phil.
