I have two unrelated questiojns. 1. What is I/O restricted in a container? Since I'd have the chance to close files on passivate or store and open them on activateor load, how does file I/O differ from an entity bean or session bean talking directly to a data store? For example, my impression is that you could make an entity bean that makes to a non-relational data store,like SAP records. Why is taht okay to do, with specialized ejbLoad and ejbStore metods, but it is ot okay to simply open and close a file? Is there any way to inherit from an EJB? It would be nice, having made a generic class, to be able to subclass it for special purposes, but I see no way to do this. Is it possible? DO I need special container-based tools to support it? Thanks. Ken =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
