Name

EntityContext

Synopsis

This extension of the EJBContext interface represents runtime context information for an entity bean. In addition to the context provided by the EJBContex methods, the EntityContext allows the entity bean to query for its primary key, and query for a remote reference to itself.

                  
public interface EntityContext extends EJBContext {
// Public Instance Methods
   public abstract EJBLocalObject getEJBLocalObject(             // 2.0
        ) throws java.lang.IllegalStateException;  
   public abstract EJBObject getEJBObject(
        ) throws java.lang.IllegalStateException;  
   public abstract Object getPrimaryKey(
        ) throws java.lang.IllegalStateException;  
}
