MZ's notes-EJB limitation

[Duran Harris]

Hi all,

On page 10 of MZ's notes it says:

The enterprise bean must not attempt to define a class in a package.

What does this mean?

[Alexey Saenko]

Hi Duran,

I think that this is about unsafety of attempts to use Reflections API to define (get access to) package/class and so on.

[Duran Harris]

Oh okay so 'define' means 'access' in Reflection. okay cool.So Reflection can't be used at all in beans then?

[Alexey Saenko]

Physically, they can be used in beans, but it makes a hole in security of this application. Therefore they should not be used.

Okay thanks.
