Hey Venkatesh:
On page 318 in HF-EJB ejbPostCreate() is missing in the CustomerBeanCMP.Is that an error or...?
I noticed the same thing and brought it to Kathy Sierra's attention. She confirmed it to be an error.
Why is the entity bean declared abstract??
The spec requires a CMP entity bean to declared abstract. The following can be found in 10.3.1.
� The Bean Provider must define the entity bean class as an abstract class. The container provides
the implementation class that is used at runtime.
The class must be declared as abstract because it contains abstract methods. The container will subclass the entity bean class with a concrete subclass.
I hope this clears things up.
