Hello,
two more questions:
1. Can you really use the EJB annotation only in the main class (and only for
static fields)? In real-world application that would make it almost useless.
2. Can you use in the same way a stateful session bean? E. g. to handle the
client authentication and session.
Thank you both for the answers.
So stateful beans should work, okay, great.
I understand that the field with the EJB annotation unfortunately has to be
static. That could make it harder to use the same code in an app client and in
an J2EE server. Okay, maybe you can use always static fields.
