Can anybody provide a nice rational explation as
to why Entity beans don't have an "isDeleted()" type method on
them.
Someone else asked me that today, and all I could
come up with was that it would be silly to use an EJB thats gone. Either
you have it, and it's OK, or it throws an exception when you try to use
it.
Unfortunately, "it's silly" wasn't a
terribly convincing arguement. If someone can provide a clearer
explanation (or better yet, a reference to a paper that describes it), I would
appreciate it greatly.
I would argue that it's your friend who
should come up with a scenario where they might need that. And then you
can answer them that calling a method on an EJB that has been removed will
trigger a NoSuchObjectException.
