Any equivalent to EJBObject.getHandle() in EJB 3.0

[Kanchan Kumar Dey]

Hi All,
New to J2EE, EJB 2.0, EJB 3.0. So, forgive me for any non sense question.

Question: In EJB2.0, the ejbObject().gethandle()is used to get the serializable stub of the remote stateful session bean. One can use the returned "handle" object at later point of time, even from some different jvm , to conect to the same Stateful session bean object.

Does EJB 3.0 support this feature by any means, as I guess there is no remote interface equivalent to EJBObject as such in it.
