Question 5 on HF EJB page 169/171

[Jeff Shelley]

Hi!
First off, I LOVE THIS BOOK! I never actually looked forward to studying anything before.
I do have a question, and I'm sorry if I missed the answer somewhere.
On page 179 and 171 of HF EJB, question 5 says:
"The remove() method in the component interface can be used only by remote clients"
The answer leaves this unchecked, stating "-no, only for local". But I can't figure out why. Shouldn't I be able to call remove() on a component interface to any session bean, regardless of the Local/Remote affiliations I have with it?
Thank you in advance for helping me out.

Hi Jeff,
Welcome to this forum.

On page 179 and 171 of HF EJB, question 5 says:
"The remove() method in the component interface can be used only by remote clients"

I think that the comment "-no, only for local" could be translated by "-no, by local clients as well".
Cheers,
Phil.
