ejbActivate() A container invokes this method when the instance is taken out of the
pool of available instances to become associated with a specific EJB
object.
The Entity bean can define 0 or more ejbCreate methods.
throws: CreateException - Failure to create an entity EJB object. throws: DuplicateKeyException - An object with the same key already exists.
A container invokes this method to instruct the instance to synchronize
its state by loading it state from the underlying database. This method
always executes in the proper transaction context.
throws: EJBException - Thrown by the method to indicate a failure caused bya system-level error.
A container invokes this method on an instance before the instance
becomes disassociated with a specific EJB object.
ejbPostCreate
public void ejbPostCreate(String id) throws CreateException(Code)
There must be an ejbPostCreate par ejbCreate method
throws: CreateException - Failure to create an entity EJB object.
ejbRemove
public void ejbRemove() throws RemoveException(Code)
A container invokes this method before it removes the EJB object that is
currently associated with the instance. This method is invoked when a
client invokes a remove operation on the enterprise Bean's home interface
or the EJB object's remote interface. This method transitions the
instance from the ready state to the pool of available instances. This
method is called in the transaction context of the remove operation.
throws: RemoveException - The enterprise Bean does not allow destruction ofthe object. throws: EJBException - - Thrown by the method to indicate a failure causedby a system-level error.
A container invokes this method to instruct the instance to synchronize
its state by storing it to the underlying database. This method always
executes in the proper transaction context.
throws: EJBException - Thrown by the method to indicate a failure caused bya system-level error.
equalsRelA
public boolean equalsRelA(String pka) throws FinderException(Code)
public void setEntityContext(EntityContext ctx)(Code)
Set the associated entity context. The container invokes this method on
an instance after the instance has been created. This method is called in
an unspecified transaction context.
Parameters: ctx - - An EntityContext interface for the instance. The instanceshould store the reference to the context in an instance variable. throws: EJBException - Thrown by the method to indicate a failure caused bya system-level error.
Unset the associated entity context. The container calls this method
before removing the instance. This is the last method that the container
invokes on the instance. The Java garbage collector will eventually
invoke the finalize() method on the instance. This method is called in an
unspecified transaction context.
throws: EJBException - Thrown by the method to indicate a failure caused bya system-level error.
