Dear All,
I need more explanation on returning of an Enumerations from a Entity EJB
finder method. As far i know from RMI experience is that you cant return a type
which does not implement "Serializable" interface So every returning type should
be serializable. Now when i see at Entity EJB finder standards, it is saying
that we can ONLY have Enumeration or Collection (Not a serializable
interfaces) as the return types. And it also says that the underlying mechanism
for the communication is RMI. In RMI, reference can ONLY be passed for a remote
type (implementing the remote interface). What is exactly going on ? I do know
every EJB object is also remote type. I have two problems:
I return an enumeration (by reference) of Entity Beans in a function namely
ejbFindAllCustomers, but what happens ? Enumeration is not a Serializable
interface?
I need to return the enumeration by value? I dont want to have a helper
Session EJB (converts the Enumeration into vector). and my client need to
play (only read) with the Objects residing in the Enumeration locally? How
can i do it with the existing standards?
Fareed
