Can a stateless session bean client call the remove()

Can a stateless session bean client call the remove() method. If yes then what would be the result of that call?

[Awishek sinha]

Stateless bean client can call the remove method however the container does not remove the bean instance on this call it just move the bean instance to the pool.

But what happens to the EJBObject which this bean gets on the create() method call. I mean what will happen if the remove() method is invoked before the business method call on a stateless session bean. As the EJBObject for a stateless session bean is linked up with a bean from the pool by the container on the business method call on the bean.

The EJBObject is removed and calling business method on component interface stub would raise an exception.
