question about cmr field & method-intf

[Deep Chand]

The abstract getter/setter method for a CMR field should specify only the local interface for the related entity bean. But if it returns Collection, then is there a requirement that it should be a Collection/Set of local interfaces for the related entity bean?


can 'method-intf' be used while specifying tx attributes using 'container-managed' ?


Thanks

Yes, there is a requirement that it should be a Collection/Set of local interfaces. But, as we know, even if we make them return a collection of other object types, the error wont be caught until run-time.

Yes, the 'method-intf' can be used while specifying tx attributes also.
Based on the Spec and the DTD, there is only one definition for 'method' tag and it says that the tag can be used for all three given below.

container-transaction, exclude-list, method-permission
