ejbCreate()??

[srikanthD reddy]

Hi..

Which of the following method declarations for a session bean class are valid?
Choices:
� A. public void ejbCreate(String name) throwsCreateException {}
� B. public void ejbCreateBigCart() throws CreateException{}
� C. public void ejbCreate(String name) {}
� D. public static void ejbCreateSmallCart() {}
� E. public final PKeyType ejbCreate() {}
� F. public PKeyType ejbCreateLargeAccount() {}

in the above question why option is c is not a valid one ...as far as i remember in the bean class an ejbCreate method may throw a create Exception but its not a must!!!

please clear the doubt!!

thanks
sri

who says it is not valid?

[Roger Chung-Wee]

CreateException is not mandated by the EJB spec for a session bean class, although some EJB servers require this exception to be declared.

Something about the above thread was bothering me..so i decided to check it on an App Server

I used IBM Websphere 5.1

When you say, Session bean - you can mean Stateful or Stateless

When you say stateful - then out of the options given by you

� A. public void ejbCreate(String name) throwsCreateException {} Valid
� B. public void ejbCreateBigCart() throws CreateException{} Valid
� C. public void ejbCreate(String name) {} Valid
� D. public static void ejbCreateSmallCart() {} Not Valid(Using Static)
� E. public final PKeyType ejbCreate() {} Not Valid
� F. public PKeyType ejbCreateLargeAccount() {} Not Valid

When you say stateless the only acceptable scenario is ejbCreate() with no params.Any other option creates a violation of EJB 2.0:7.8 Check it out and do let me know if i am wrong

[satheesh krishnaswamy]

public void ejbCreateBigCart() throws CreateException{} Valid

How is this Valid? Shall we have like this ejbCreateBigCart()? or is this a typo.I feel it should be ejbCreate(argument) in case of Stateful and ejbCreate() without arguments in case of Stateless S.B.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

[Rahul Mishra]

As i said ..try it out...on an app server...the spec says multiple ejbCreate is supported.

Now since this worked i am assuming this means that all create methods which begin with the words ejbCreate*******() and so on so forth.

any Experts on this?

[shri mon]

I guess the ejbCreate.... methods should be of void return type
Correct me if i am wrong

Thanks,
Shrimon
