Not the usual, I promise.
I have an Organization. It is an EntityBean. It wholly contains
OrgUnits. They are not enterprise beans since they are dependent
objects, and since it appears like a Good Thing to reduce the number of
EntityBeans needed in an architecture.
But now each OrgUnit logically needs a reference back to the
Organization that owns it. Can I simply keep a reference to the
Organization that creates an OrgUnit? Should I store the handle
instead? Or the OrganizationHome? Or what?
Sample, shortened code follows:
// Remote reference for OrganizationBean class--
// the OrganizationBean class implements EntityBean.
public interface Organization extends EJBObject {
public OrgUnit[] getOrgUnits();
}
public class OrgUnit {
// OK? Bad? Organization is an EJBObject.
// Does this matter?
private Organization org = null;
public OrgUnit(Organization org) {
super();
this.org = org; // OK? Bad?
}
public Organization getOrganization() {
return this.org; // OK? Bad?
}
}
Cheers,
Laird
