SessionBean.getPrimaryKey()

[jmiddleton]

Hi, I have a problem with stateless session bean. The specificacion of EJB say in section 6.6 that when you request session.getPrimaryKey() the result is a RemoteException because session doesn't have primary key.
Well, I'm working with jboss-3.2.2RC2, and when I like to try this I get another effect. The result that I obtain was the JNDI name of this session bean.
Somebody could tell me why? It's a configuration problems??

Thank a lot.

Please try it with latest released versions (3.2.3), and if the issue exists report it as a bug.

I download the 3.2.3 version and this bug continue.

There is something in the configuration that is wrong?

No, it should throw an exception as per the javadoc.

I don't know what happend. You can tell me which is the class that implement EJBObject in JBOSS? Maybe there is something wrong there.

[juha]

This is implemented in the StatelessSessionInterceptor:

 else if (m.equals(GET_PRIMARY_KEY))
 {
 return ctx.getValue(InvocationKey.JNDI_NAME);
 }

Which seems wrong according to the Javadoc:

 /**
 * Obtain the primary key of the EJB object.
 *
 * This method can be called on an entity bean. An attempt to invoke this method on a session
 * bean will result in RemoteException.
 *
 * @return The EJB object's primary key.
 * @exception java.rmi.RemoteException - Thrown when the method failed due to a system-level failure.
 */

So I would qualify it as a bug in JBoss.
