Exceptions: Remove/Remote???

[Simon Ingram]

If you call javax.ejb.EJBLocalHome.remove(java.lang.Object pk) on a session bean do you get a javax.ejb.RemoveException ( as stated on page 559 in HFEJB) OR javax.ejb.EJBException (Mock Answer to Q2 on www.ejbcertificate?)

The same confusion exists over calling javax.ejb.EJBHome.remove(java.lang.Object pk) on a session bean. Is it a java.rmi.RemoteException or a javax.ejb.RemoveException?

Any clarification here would be great!

Hi Simon,
I had the same confusion about the answer to this question in www.ejbcertificate.com and I reported them that the answer is incorrect. But I am not sure whether they corrected it.
Anyway, I think the correct answer is - a javax.ejb.RemoveException will be thrown in both the cases. Because what the spec says about this is the following

Remote Home Interface [Section 6.3.2 p59]
Because session objects do not have primary keys that are accessible to clients, invoking the javax.ejb.EJBHome.remove(Object primaryKey) method on a session results in the javax.ejb.RemoveException.

Local Home Interface [Section 6.4.2 p60]
Because session objects do not have primary keys that are accessible to clients, invoking the javax.ejb.EJBLocalHome.remove(Object primaryKey) method on a session results in the javax.ejb.RemoveException.

Hope this helps
Suman
