My thoughts about the answers are

1A....
2A.According to spec it says that Bean provider must create a primary key class.
With CMT is it not possible that Container creates a PKclass when we define the
Primary key field,just as it implements Home and Component classes for us.

3A.I think it is true .

4A.Will it throw IllegalStateException .

Please tell me whether these answers are right for my Questions or not.I am not sure of these.

1. The spec it says that ejbPassivate must be called in a unspecified transaction. For entity and session beans.

3. Actually, ejbPassivate will save the resource manager connection factory becuase it is one of the things on the list which can be passivated.

2.The Bean Provider must create a primary key class for an entity bean with container-managed persistence.True or False.

False, it can map ho a single field:


Spec, 10.8:

There are two ways to specify a primary key class for an entity bean with container-managed persistence:
� Primary key that maps to a single field in the entity bean class.
� Primary key that maps to multiple fields in the entity bean class.

The second method is necessary for implementing compound keys, and the first method is convenient for
single-field keys. Without the first method, simple types such as String would have to be wrapped in a
user-defined class.
