Home Business Methods

[Nathaniel Stoddard]

Home methods aren't associated with a specific entity bean, while methods in the component interface are. You can read the EJB spec for component contract and usage issues.

Hi,

How are Home Business Methods of an entity beans different than business methods defined in Component Interface?

What is the difference in their usage?

Thanks,
Rajeev.

Does this mean that I can call Home Business Methods without even "create"ing a bean ?

Then how these methods are associated? and with whom?
