Stateful EJBs with non-default create method

[Keith Hatton <kh...@axiomsystems.com>]

Hi all,

Background: I am using Axis to expose several EJB APIs so that they can be called from Web Services clients.

I have this working with stateless session EJBs and some stateful session EJBs.

However I have now come across an EJB that does not have a default create() method in its home interface. Instead it has create(Activity), create(Job), and create(Service), where Activity, Job and Service are value objects passed in by the client.

At a glance this doesn't seem to be supported by the java:EJB provider. Can anyone give my any guidance or pointers on how to resolve this issue?

Thanks
Keith
