Since it inherits from AHome, you can call methods defined in AHome. Does it make sense to call any of these methods? No. -Because if you do, the results you get won't be of type B anyway, that's why. Therefore, all (local)home interfaces should just extend EJB(Local)Home, regardless of component inheritance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
