Entity Bean with refs to other Entity Beans?

[Micah Skilling]

I'm trying to understand what is required to effectively store
CMP/entity beans that contain references to other CMP/entity beans. Is
it necessary to put the storage and retrieval logic for references to
other CMP/entity beans in the ejbLoad and ejbStore methods?

For example:

If I have a ApplicantEJB and it contains a ResidenceEJB (both EJBs are
CMP). Should I put something similiar to the following in the ejbLoad
method for ApplicantEJB:

 public void ejbLoad() throws RemoteException {

     //residence is an instance variable of ApplicantEJB

     try {
        Context context = new InitialContext();
        ResidenceHome residenceHome = (ResidenceHome)
context.lookup("java:comp/env/Residence");
        residence =  residenceHome.findByPrimaryKey(this.id);
        if(residence == null) {
            System.out.println("Residence not found so creating new
one");
            residence =
(Residence)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(residenceHome.create(this.id),
Residence.class);
        }
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
        throw new RemoteException(e.toString());
    }
}

Am I on the right track? 

Thanks,

Micah Skilling.
