Interface EJBLocalHome

public interface EJBLocalHome
The EJBLocalHome interface must be extended by all enterprise beans' local home interfaces. An enterprise bean's local home interface defines the methods that allow local clients to create, find, and remove enterprise bean objects.

The local home interface is defined by the enterprise bean provider and implemented by the enterprise bean container.

Enterprise beans written to the EJB 3.0 and later APIs do not require a local home interface.

Since:
EJB 2.0
