Doubts while through EJB 3.0 core spec.

[Vishal Chugh]

Hi,

Please help me understand below :

1) Section 4.3.3: what is te difference b/w getInvokedBusinessInterface and getBusinessObject methods ?

2) Section 4.4.2 :

Invoking the getEJBObject and getEJBLocalObject methods is disallowed in the session bean methods in which there is no session object identity established for the instance.

Above , what it means by session object identity established for instance ? ( Is it talking abt annotation or declaring in DD that this bean is session bean using stateful or stateless ) .


Thanks

Don't know exactly. I think those methods are disallowed when the session bean object is created explicitly, rather than by the container.

Hi Vishal,

I understand the statement

Invoking the getEJBObject and getEJBLocalObject methods is disallowed in the session bean methods in which there is no session object identity established for the instance.

as follows:

Session object identity is some kind of object identity that is assigned by the container when an instance of the session bean is created. (see core spec 3.4.5).

Since getEJBObject() returns a reference on the current bean instance (it's the getBusinessObject()'s equivalent for ejb2 beans) this method should not be invoked until the bean instance is created. Therefore in the bean's lifecycle, the first method where getEJBObject() can be called is the post construct method. Same for getEJBLocalOBject().

Hi Ralph,

Thank you!!!

But what can be the case , when no object identity will be assosiated with instance of session bean by the container ? I mean what case they are talking about ?


Thanks

This concerns constructors, setSessionContext() from SessionBean interface and methods used for dependency injection, like

@PersistenceContext
private void setEntityManager(EntitManager em){ entityManager = em; }

i doubt this might be a case, when the session bean instance is being destroyed, then calls are made for getEJBObject.
