javax.ejb
public interface: EJBObject [javadoc | source]

All Implemented Interfaces:
    Remote

All Known Implementing Classes:
    Management

The EJBObject interface is extended by all enterprise Beans' remote interfaces. An enterprise Bean's remote interface provides the remote client view of an EJB object. An enterprise Bean's remote interface defines the business methods callable by a remote client.

The remote interface must extend the javax.ejb.EJBObject interface, and define the enterprise Bean specific business methods.

The enterprise Bean's remote interface is defined by the enterprise Bean provider and implemented by the enterprise Bean container.
