create method in stateful session bean

[jsquare]

Is that valid to have a no argument create method along with other create method with arguments in a stateful session bean home method

example:

public interface StoreHome extends EJBHome
{

public StoreFront create() throws RemoteException, CreateException
{
}

public StoreFront create(String name) throws RemoteException, CreateException
{
}
}

Stateful beans can have overloaded create methods. Its legal. Make sure to match it with a ejbCreate in your bean.

i don't think that session bean can have overloaded create() method
it can have for Entity Bean

it can have for Entity Bean

On the contrary entity beans are not required to have create() methods. Its optional
