Hi
I am studying for the SCBCD exam and I would appreciate if someone is able to shed some light on a puzzling aspect of the specification....
According to HFEJB and the spec, within the ejbCreate method of a stateless session bean,
you should be able to get a reference to your EJBObject through the SessionContext. How is this possible?
It seems to contradict the lifecycle of a stateless session, which states that the constructor, setSessionContext and ejbCreate are called by the container at a completely independent time from a call by the client, and are taken from the pool only to service a business method call, then put back immediatly after. This would seem to indicate that the bean is only connetced to an EJBOBject at the time the client calls a business method, and could be linked to a different EJBObject each time it is pulled from the pool.
So, as the ejbCreate method is only called once, at bean creation, (unlike entity beans), I can't understand how the SessionContext can have a reference to an EJBObject???
Me is very confused.....can anyone help?
