Section 3.6 (chapter 3) from EJB 3.0 core spec.

[Vishal Chugh]

Hi,

I am going through EJB 3.0 core spec chapter 3 these days , I have one stupid doubt , As EJB 3.0 provides back-ward compatibility to support EJB 2.0 at the same time.

So do I need to have idea have idea of ins-outs of EJB 2.0 also for SCBCD 5.0 exam ?

My doubt is , should I go through below big topic also from spec ?

Section 3.6 ::

Remote and local client view of session beans wriiten to EJB 2.1 client view API

Please advice...

Thanks..

You need to know how to integrate these 2 versions. It comes down to:
- knowing that you can use EJB 2.1 in EJB 3 by injecting a 2.1 bean's home interface
- knowing that you can use EJB 3 in EJB 2.1 by declaring EJB 3 in the deployment descriptor and using JNDI lookups (dependency injection for EJB < 3.0 is not required by the specs)
- knowing about the @Init annotation for statefull beans

This is enough.

Do we really need to know about this?

I think I had it at my exam, but then again, I had done a few mocks before it so I might be wrong. But, it is just a single annotation... Don't sweat it ;-)

I didn't know about that before.

I didn't know about that before.

Also have a look at the exam objectives:

General EJB 3.0 Enterprise Bean Knowledge

Identify correct and incorrect statements or examples about EJB 3.0 / EJB 2.x interoperability, including how to adapt an EJB 3.0 bean for use with clients written to the EJB 2.x API and how to access beans written to the EJB 2.x API from beans written to the EJB 3.0 API.

Hi Vishal !!

i have read your post before "I am novice to SCBCD family , Hello All..."..
