reference and value

[Forrest Xu]

i have a question about reference and value.
When we call method in local EJB, the parameters in the object is passed by reference. That means that any change made by the EJB will affect the calling client.
When we call method in remote EJB, the parameters in the object is passed by value. That means that any change made by the EJB will not affect the calling client.
When I want to use remote ejb, how can I get result(This is updated information) form EJB method? It looks like I can not get from parameters. Is it from return value?

Thanks,

Forrest,
Yes, you use the return value to get data back. It is a good practice to do this for local ejbs too so you can switch the configuration.
