Class AbstractSessionBean

        +--com.interface21.ejb.support.AbstractSessionBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.ejb.EnterpriseBean, java.io.Serializable, javax.ejb.SessionBean

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractStatelessSessionBean

public abstract class AbstractSessionBean

extends AbstractEnterpriseBean

implements javax.ejb.SessionBean

Convenient superclass for session beans.
SFSBs can extend this class directly, leaving them to implement the ejbActivate() and ejbPassivate() lifecycle methods to comply with the requirements of the EJB specification.
SLSBs will extend the AbstractStatelessSessionBean subclass of this class.
This class saves the session context provided by the EJB container in an instance variable and provides a NOP implementation of the ejbRemove() lifecycle method.
NB: We cannot use final for our implementation of EJB lifecycle methods, as this violates the EJB specification.
