****************************
The RunTimeChecker Exception seems to be a result of the failed ejbRemove(), since in my client I remove the bean and insert it in next statement.
Here it the ejbRemove() Method:
public void ejbRemove() {
System.out.println("ejbRemove() was called");
if(con==null) con=getConnection();
PreparedStatement ps = null;
try {
ps = con.prepareStatement(
"delete from persons where id = ?");
ps.setString(1, id);
if(ps.executeUpdate() != 1) {
System.out.println("Unable to del entity bean!");
}
}catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println(
"Unable to remove person with id "+id+" from db(connection +"(con!=null)+"):"+e.toString());
}try {
con.close();
} catch(Exception e) {}
}
*************
I am sure that there is a trivial error in this method, but I fail to find it.
Oh, and the entity with key '123' does exist in the database named test and in the table named persons.
This NullPointerException is strange, since id and con are not null. What can be null then ?

oh, and here is the code of the ejbStore() method that also fails (overlooked it):

It looks from the client-side error message like your ejbCreate method returns null. While this is SOP for CMP beans, a BMP bean is supposed to return a valid PK object.
Also, you occasionally get weird NPEs when the equals() or hashCode() methods in your PK class can't handle null values in the PK. Don't ask why, just make sure they work even in the presence of null PK values.

oh what i forgot to say is that i tried to run the ejbStore() method on a client.
the datasource was accquired the same way like on the bean. i got a securityException there telling me that the user guest doesnt have a certain permission, which i dont remember by heart (was something with r i guess, reserve maybe ??).
this occurs on all update and insert statements (i found out with the sql profiler tool that no update oder insert statement is ever propagated to the database). do i have to give a permission to actually change the database ?

The client should never directly call ejbStore() or any lifecycle method. These are managed by the Container.

If your key class is a String, you don't have to do anythign to fix it. But how about your ejbCreate method? Does it ever return null? It shouldn't, for a BMP bean.

actually it does return null when an SQLException occurs.
but in what way shall I change it ?
return an empty string ?

When an exception occurs that your ejb cannot handle then you should throw an exception. In the case of a create then the appropriate exception would be javax.ejb.CreateException. In other cases it could be a simple javax.ejb.EjbException or a predefined Application Exception. There is no use in covering up the error, which is what you are doing now. Obviously the client can not continue on without first addressing this issue.
BTW, this is true of object design in general, not just EJB. Exception Handling in Java follows the Chain of Responsibility Pattern. The exception(or a wrapped version) should continue on until it gets to a point where it can be handled appropriately.
