Hi,
EJBObject and EJBHome are network visible objects(whereas bean class
is not.). Hence their base classes extend "javax.rmi.remote" whose
implementation is provided by the container.
Now referring to your question your bean remote interface extends the
EJBObject interface and the EJBObject class implements(implemented by
the container) your bean remote interace :-))
The reasons are manyfold:
**By intercepting requests, the EJB container can automatically perform
some necessary management that includes transaction logic,security
logic, bean instance pooling logic and many other logic that the
container may require.
**In short when u call create() on home interface the container creates
a EJBObject and associates it with a class instance from the pool.(the
primary key is the binding factor between the two.)
Hope this helps.
