Hello,

I have a EJB called EstablishmentEJB that has a relation with another EJB called CountryEJB. An establishment has a country and a country has several establishments. I have both local and remote interfaces. What's more I have a reference to the CountryEJB in my EstablishmentEJB as follows:

package com.softwareag.test_guide.establishment;

import java.util.Collection;

import javax.ejb.EntityBean;
import javax.ejb.EntityContext;

import com.softwareag.test_guide.country.CountryLocal;

/**

 */
public abstract class EstablishmentBean implements EntityBean {

 public Integer ejbCreate(
 Integer id,
 String name,
 Collection visitorComments,
 Collection grades,
 CountryLocal country,//here
 Collection categories) {
 setId(id);
 setName(name);
 setVisitorComments(visitorComments);
 setGrades(grades);
 setCountry(country);
 setCategories(categories);
 return null;
 }
 public void ejbPostCreate(
 Integer id,
 String name,
 Collection visitorComments,
 Collection grades,
 CountryLocal country,
 Collection categories) {}

 //Persistence fields
 public abstract Integer getId();
 public abstract void setId(Integer id);
 public abstract String getName();
 public abstract void setName(String name);

 //Relation fields
 public abstract Collection getVisitorComments();
 public abstract void setVisitorComments(Collection visitorComments);
 public abstract Collection getGrades();
 public abstract void setGrades(Collection grades);
 public abstract CountryLocal getCountry();
 public abstract void setCountry(CountryLocal country);
 public abstract Collection getCategories();
 public abstract void setCategories(Collection categories);

 //Callback methods
 public void setEntityContext(EntityContext ec) {}
 public void unsetEntityContext() {}
 public void ejbLoad() {}
 public void ejbStore() {}
 public void ejbActivate() {}
 public void ejbPassivate() {}
 public void ejbRemove() {}

}

My question is: do I need to reference the Local or Remote interface at the line named //here?

Thanks in advance,

Julien Martin.
