| You can cast any home to this interface and call its create method.
Create method will create a new bean's instance and set the context.
For session beans, it will call the
parameterless ejbCreate if it exists for. It will not call ejbCreate if the
parameterless ejbCreate does not exist.
For entity beans (BMP and CMP), no ejbCreate/ejbPostCreate method will be called.
This can be used, for example, for BMP entity beans to initialize the bean from
the "back door" without inserting a database record (i.e., calling the actual ejbCreate).
