HFEB Entity Bean Synch Q & A confusion

[Gul Khan]

Hi
I am confused at the Q-9 in the chapter entity bean Synchronization.
Question: Which methods from the EntityContext interface can be invoked from within the ejbCreate method?
The answers in the book are getEJBHome,getEJBObject, getCallerPrincipal and setRollBackOnly.
BUT my question is how can getEJBObject be invoked in ejbCreate? i think there is no EJBObject until ejbPostCreate...
can anyone plz explain.

You are correct, the answer is wrong, it should not have getEJBObject() method

I searched around to see if anyone else has posted the same issue and if there is an explaination for it, but i couldnt find any.
Is there anywhere i can confirm that its an error or not?

Thanks
