EJBObject * Serializable

[Cory Wilkerson]

Good morning!
I have a web-app in VM "X" talking to an EJB container that lives in VM "Y". This web-app currently utilizes VM Y, grabbing references via JNDI, perfoming some business functions, etc. That said, we have a few java classes with member references (in the web-app) to objects (ejbs) residing in VM Y.
My questions is: If I want to serialize one of my classes in VM X containing a reference to an ejb residing in VM Y -- will my ejb have to explicitly implement serializable? And if so -- do I implement the interface in both the remote intfc & bean implementation?
Thanks!
Cory

Your web app will be talking to a local stub of your remote EJB, not the EJB itself. So the EJB is not passed through RMI-IIOP...
But, in your case, your parameters and return values have to be defined as serializable...
Just my thoughts
