EJB - callback to client
-
I have written/gotten eclipse to generate a sessionless EJB. One of the methods allows the clients to add itself to an arraylist on the bean for later callbacks. After googling a bit it seems the client (in this case a test bean) needs to implement the remote interface..? Or are there any other ways?
While conducting my web searches I came across this helpful page from M$:

Examine your code and determine the solution that is appropriate to your specific case.
to be fair, it is from the Java Language Conversion Assistant ...

In order to have a remote callback, you need to have a remote class.
So, no, there aren't any other ways.
Although, implementing the Remote interface isn't that difficult to do.

Thank you for your help.
The client class now inherits from RemoteUnicastObject and implements and Interface extending the Remote Interface.
The bean creates fine but when I get to call a method an NPE is thrown.
Stubs have been generated for the client.
As it's possibly a common error in ejb development I thought I'd mention it without posting the code..
