Hello,   Here is a little example :   public class DummyClass {     public DummyClass(){}     public void dummyMethod(DummyClass2 anotherClass) { // some code } }   public class DummyClass2 {        public DummyClass2(){}     public void dummyMethod2() {         DummyClass d = new DummyClass();         d.dummyMethod(this);     } }     HERE IS THE QUESTION ===> How do we manage "this" pointer in entity beans ? With EJB : public interface DummyClass extends EJBObject {     public void dummyMethod2(); }   public class DummyClass2Bean implements EntityBean {        public DummyClass2(){}     public void dummyMethod2() {         DummyClass d = new DummyClass();         d.dummyMethod(this); // "this" is a DummyClass2Bean and should be a DummyClass2 (the remote interface)!!!???     } }   Hope you can help !   Thanxs !   PS : Please don't tell me the solution is to make a request to the ejbserver in order to find the remote instance matching the bean by its primary key !       Jean-Claude MEILLAND       Ing�nieur Informatique       iSmart Le Mercure A, 565 Rue Berthelot       13851 Aix en Provence cedex 3 FRANCE       Mobile (+33/0) 6 87 19 29 89       Telephone (+33/0) 4 42 90 02 81       Fax (+33/0) 4 42 24 45 78       mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]       http://www.ismart.fr
