I am not understanding why in the ejbCreate() method of a stateless session bean, we are allowed to use the sessionContext object to get a reference to the EJBObject.

Since according to the diagrams in HFEJB on page 224-225, the flow for the creation of a stateless session bean is totally not related to client calling a method on the EJBObject. Therefore, why we can get a reference to EJBObject in ejbCreate()?

Anyone can explain so as to clear my doubt? Thank you very much.

If you need to pass the 'this' reference to another object, you have to use the EJBObject.
