You say:

bean provider is not extending Bean from EJBHome. Bean is not child of Home interface, but still we cast it with Home interface & acess the methods. Comments please.

Looks like you are mixing up 2 things. Bean class does not implement Home interface. The object that implements Home interface is created by
EJB Server and client gets Stub of the same, when we do look up. In short, the Stub (to Home object) returned to client by look up can be narrowed and casted to Home interface. Hope that clarifies your ideas now.
