This is to thank Kathy and Bert for writing something as fantastic and un-putdownable like HF EJB. HFEJB is to Java what Harry Potter is to the literary world, something so wonderfully imaginative and yet so simple.
I referred only to HFEJB, did their practice exam, and that was it. No Specs (600 pages of scary text !!!)
So for all those who wanna do this exam, HF EJB is "the" thing...

Hi there Kathy,
Firstly, way to go on a book so well written... HeadFirst EJB is one hellua read... gives Sidney Sheldon a run for his money !
Now coming back to EJBs, the bok says that one can obtain a reference to the EJB Object in the ejbCreate() method of a Stateless Session Bean. But it also says that a new EJB Object is created in response to every create() called by the client, and a bean is attached to the EJB Object only when a business method is invoked. So how does one get a reference to the EJB Object in the ejbCreate() method of the Stateless Session bean (which incidentally is called by the container only when it first creates the bean)
Look forward to an answer...
