Entity Beans Without Create Methods
If an entity bean is never meant to
be created by a client, you can simply not implement a
create()
method on the home interface. This means
that the entity in question can only be obtained using the
find()
methods on the home interface. Titan might
implement this strategy with their Ship beans, so that new ships must
be created by directly inserting a record into the database—a
privilege that might be reserved for the database administrator. They
wouldn’t want some crazed travel agent inserting random ships
into their cruise line.
