Hi,
Here is excerpt from Kathy's and Bert's book which raises me a questions:
"Given a remote client 'R', that has valid references to session beans 'A' and 'B', and given that A is local to B, which statements are true?
Amongst others I chose:
A. R cannot pass his reference for A, to B.
Is it possible that bean B will call business methods on bean A using the remote interface it has received from R client? I understand it might just keep the remote ref to A for some purpose to return it later back at R, maybe. But can B invoke business methods? R and A-B are running on different JVMs, and the reference passed is a stub, which was supposed to let access the bean A from R computer, and the B is might be on the other computer. Can you carry remote interface stub between JVM's and still access business methods using it???

I read this question and option
B,A cannot pass his reference for B, to R
D, B cannot invoke methods on R
are correct because reference to local object must not be passed out the JVM in which it was created(According to spec),so in that case A is the local client for B and A cannot pass his reference to R for B becauae R is a remote client and exist into other JVM. A client can pass his local object reference to another application through its local inteface, A local home object reference cannot be passed as an argument or result of a method on an enterprise bean remote home or remote interface.

This one sounds fishy "A client can pass his local object reference to another application through its local inteface".
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
