EJB Spec VS HFEJB(ejbCreate)

[Ramakrishna Allam]

on pg 192 , EJB spec says that CreateException is a must for ejbCreate.
on page 335 in HFEJB , its not ...
please clarify...

[Roger Chung-Wee]

You must declare javax.ejb.CreateException for the ejbCreate() method of an entity bean, but this is optional for a session bean (see p96 of the EJB spec).
For a message-driven bean, the ejbCreate() method must not declare any application exceptions.

Nice explanation, Roger Chung-Wee... Thanks for it...

Hi Chung,I think its true for irrespective of the statefull ness of the bean (its true for both stateful and stateless beans) .And , all the create methods in remote homes muct throw CreateException. Isnt it?

Correct.

And , all the create methods in remote homes muct throw CreateException. Isnt it?

The create() method of a remote home interface must always declare both a javax.ejb.CreateException and a java.rmi.RemoteException. This applies to session and entity beans. Of course, none of this applies to message-driven beans as they have no client.
