The class must not define the finalize() method

[Deepak Jain]

EJB Core Specification 4.6.2:
The class must not define the finalize() method

@Stateful
public class PlaceBidBean extends ParentPOJO {
 
public void ejbCreate() {
System.out.println("Start: PlaceBidBean.ejbCreate()");
System.out.println("Inside ejbCreate");
System.out.println("End: PlaceBidBean.ejbCreate()");
}

public void finalize() {
System.out.println("Finalize");
}
}

Works fine. What is the spec trying to convey?

Can someone please take time and respond this question.

Hello Deepak ,
what Java EE server are you using ? I have found that using the RI glassfish server will wreck your code while on weblogic or otheres it may work ok .

Thanks for your reply.
I am using JBOSS 4.2.3.GA for all my EJB.
If you would have my other posts you would have noticed that I have found similar issues where the session beans are clearly violating the rules of Session Beans. For Session Beans rules i have read EJB In Action 3.0

I had finalize() for MDB and it was invoked after the PreDestroy method. The spec said MDB must not have PreDestroy method.
Can someone please clarify finalize() with MDB and session beans

This is one of situation that jboss go away form spec. I have posted this problem (no 100 spec compliant server) ealiar.

If you try even final ejb class also can be deployed in jboss.
