kris, Thank you for your comment.
Because I have experence with EJB 1.1 for production, I understand what you mean. I also did check your interpretation with the j2ee reference implementation and the result tells you are right. But I still cannot read your interpretation from the EJB 2.0 spec. Please read whole sentences of 10.6.4 ejbCreate subsection: --- start --- 10.6.4 ejbCreate<METHOD> methods The entity bean class must implement the ejbCreate<METHOD>(...) methods that correspond to the create<METHOD>(...) methods specified in the entity bean $B!G (Bs home interface. The entity bean class may define zero or more ejbCreate<METHOD>(...) methods whose signa-tures must follow these rules: The method name must have ejbCreate as its prefix. The method must be declared as public. The method must not be declared as final or static. The return type must be the entity bean $B!G (Bs primary key type. If the ejbCreate<METHOD>(...) method corresponds to a create<METHOD>(...) on the entity bean $B!G (Bs remote home interface, the method arguments and return value types must be legal types for RMI-IIOP. The throws clause must define the javax.ejb.CreateException. The throws clause may define arbitrary application specific exceptions. --- end --- In my previous mail, I pointed out the last paragraph of the 10.6.4. It isn't obvious for me that "the throws" means "the throws of the create<METHOD>(...)" because this subsection specifies ejbCreate() not create(). I know a possibility of that "the throws" may refere to the last method, which is "create()" in this case. Sorry, English is my second language.
