1) This is an Orion addition which should be an EJB standard IMHO - it saves
untold amounts of time with persisting OR relations. If you want an EJB
standard approach you'll have to use something like TopLink or some other OR
persistence package (which is invariably a lot slower than Orion's
approach).
2) Method A will work fine.

Very neat feature.
1). Is this automatic persistence of associated entity fields an EJB
standard or an Orion addition (which should be an EJB standard)?
2). How do you set such a field?
class PortfolioEntity extends EntityBean
public Client client; // Remote interface to ClientEntity
public Client getClient() { return client; }
// METHOD A
public void setClient( Client client ) { this.client = client; }
// METHOD B
public void setClient( Long clientID )
try
this.client = getClientHome().findByPrimaryKey( clientID );
}
catch( Exception ex ) { ... }
}
}
Is it possible to use METHOD A (my understanding is that one can't pass
around RMI remote references within the same JVM) or do we have to resort to
using primary keys (as in METHOD B) to set an associated bean?
Thanks in advance
