In EJB Quickstart section 8.2 of “Creating a Session EJB – Part-2”, the statement

Next rerun XDoclet on the firstejb project to resynchronize the Trader and TraderHome classes and the deployment descriptors (see Section 7.2 for details).

is puzzling me. I ran XDoclet and noticed that the Trader.java (remote interface) was updated accordingly with the xDoclet annotated methods. However, I fail to see what was “synchronized” in the Home Interface –> TradeHome.java.

My TraderHome.java (home interface) contains

public interface TraderHome
extends javax.ejb.EJBHome
{
public static final String COMP_NAME=”java:comp/env/ejb/Trader”;
public static final String JNDI_NAME=”ejb/com/genuitec/trader/ejb/TraderHome”;

public com.genuitec.trader.interfaces.Trader create()
throws javax.ejb.CreateException,java.rmi.RemoteException;

}

both before and after adding the buy and sell methods to the Bean and running xDoclet.

Also, I don’t understand why the Home Interface would need synchronization after the addition of new methods to the Bean class. The Home Interface has to do only with life-cycle concerns, isn’t that correct?

Excuse my ignorance. I am complete novice when it comes to EJBs.

Glad you asked the question. You are right that the TraderHome is not updated. But if you would have changed anything in the source EJB class, say the JNDI_NAME, then yes, that file would be updated by running xdoclet.
