Interface javax.ejb.EJBHome

public interface interface EJBHome
extends Remote
The EJBHome interface is extended by all enterprise Bean's home interfaces. An enterprise Bean's home interface defines the methods that allow a client to create, find, and remove EJB objects.

Each enterprise Bean has a home interface. The home interface must extend the javax.ejb.EJBHome interface, and define the enterprise Bean type specific create and finder methods (session Beans do not have finders).

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