NoSuchEntityException

Specs says:
18.3.4 javax.ejb. NoSuchEntityException
The NoSuchEntityException is a subclass of EJBException. If it is thrown by a method of an entity bean class, the Container must handle the exception using the rules for EJBException described in Sections 18.3.1, 18.3.2, and 18.3.3.

To give the client a better indication of the cause of the error, the Container should throw the java.rmi. NoSuchObjectException (which is a subclass of java.rmi. RemoteException) to a remote client, or the javax.ejb. NoSuchObjectLocalException to a local client.

My questions are as below:
1] When Entity bean instance throws NoSuchEntityException, does Container
throw java.rmi. NoSuchObjectException to remote client and javax.ejb. NoSuchObjectLocalException to a local client?

If not, does Container throw java.rmi. RemoteException to remote client and javax.ejb. EJBException to a local client and NoSuchEntityException is not related to java.rmi. NoSuchObjectException and javax.ejb. NoSuchObjectLocalException?

2] Can I infer that client would never get NoSuchEntityException directly unless Container implementation is designed to throw specific exceptions (Even in that case, only Local client would get NoSuchEntityException being sub-class of EJBException, right?)?

Pls clarify.

Hi Sandash,

1] When Entity bean instance throws NoSuchEntityException, does Container
throw java.rmi. NoSuchObjectException to remote client and javax.ejb. NoSuchObjectLocalException to a local client?

Yes it is absolutely correct.

2] Can I infer that client would never get NoSuchEntityException directly unless Container implementation is designed to throw specific exceptions (Even in that case, only Local client would get NoSuchEntityException being sub-class of EJBException, right?)?

The remote client will receive java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException where as
the local client will receive javax.ejb.NoSuchObjectLocalException

Hope it helps.
