Doubt on visibility of business methods

[Nicolas Stern]

Hello,

I have a doubt about a mock exam question.

According to the core specs (4.6.5) : the business method must be public.

Now the mock exam question:
Given the following interface:

public interface MyI {
public int m1();
int m2();
}

Which method of the following bean are exposed to local clients ?:
[CODE]
@Stateless
public class MyBean implements MyI {
public int m1() { return 1; }
public int m2() { return 2; }
}

The answer provided says that both methods m1() and m2() are exposed to local client.

I had thought that since client acces bean via their interface, only m1() is exposed to local clients.

I assume the answer provided with the mock exam must be correct, but I have a doubt, because the spec is clear on this point.

Thanks for any input

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

public interface MyI {
public int m1();
int m2();
}

Method m2() in interface MyI is public!! Remember, methods in interfaces are public by default (in fact they can only be public).
