Operations Allowed in the Methods of a MDB

[ravi janap]

Hi

Is invoking getEJBObject or getEJBLocalObject allowed in message-driven bean methods?

I looked at the EJB specifications and it doesn't mention this although it does mention that "Invoking getEJBHome or getEJBLocalHome is disallowed in message-driven bean methods".

Thanks

Since you talk to MDB through the JMS, you never get a reference to a bean or an EJBObject.

So MDB don't have homes, infact you don't even write a home or component interface, only the bean class

Hi

So what happens if getEJBObject or getEJBLocalObject is invoked in message-driven bean methods. Does it throw java.lang.IllegalStateException?

Thanks

You are right ravi,
Its java.lang.IllegalStateException....will kill bean, Tx rollback and log it.(i mean bean instance....i know u know..but..)

Hi

EntityContext provides getEJBObject, getEJBLocalObject and getPrimaryKey methods apart from the methods inhertited from EJBContext.

SessionContext provides getEJBObject and getEJBLocalObject methods apart from the methods inhertited from EJBContext.

Whereas MessageDrivenContext doesn't provide any methods apart from the methods inhertited from EJBContext.

That explains the answer.

Thanks
