Relationships between Home objects, EJB objects and bean ins

[mhansen]

Hi,

I'm wondering how the relationships between

- Home objects and EJB objects
- EJB objects and bean instances

are in JBoss. Is it 1:1, 1:N or N:M?

In JBoss there is only really one EJBObject
implementation per ejb deployed, the container.

The bean instances are pooled/cached behind the container.

When you get the remote interface, you get a proxy
that says it implements EJBObject, but it actually
just passes the request to the container.
The same with the home the interface.
