I'm a little fuzzy on references and links and have a basic question
or two. In fact, I assume this is so basic that maybe anyone who
responds should communicate with me privately so as not to bother the
list with basic stuff.
Precisely how do a reference and a link differ semantically or
connotatively?
A reference, if I understand it correctly, is just the name of the EJB
and its home interface, so that another bean at runtime can do a JNDI
lookup, right? I think that's what it is, but the language about
reference makes it sound like it is soothing more complicated.
A link is supposed to be a way for an application assembler to provide a
way for one bean to find another bean. That sounds like a reference.
What's the difference?
I assume that neither of these are an actual object reference to an
EB's home object, but just the name of the home interface so the caller
can do a JNDI lookup. Yes? Thanks.
