Hi all
Can we use reflection API in EJB 2.0
Thanks

Check out 24.1.2 Programming restrictions of the EJB spec.

I saw that but... the LocalHome does not need EJBMetaDate() as it can use reflections... is the statement from HFEJB So was not sure if reflections can be used or not

You can use most of the Reflection API, it's only part of it which is disallowed. You cannot enable the security permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission. If the named permission target (suppressAccessChecks) is enabled, a class is allowed to use reflection to inspect, access, and modify protected and private members and methods in other classes. A bean could therefore yield sensitive information, which is a security risk.
