Interface javax.ejb.Handle

public interface interface Handle
The Handle interface is implemented by all EJB object handles. A handle is an abstraction of a network reference to an EJB object. A handle is intended to be used as a "robust" persistent reference to an EJB object.

The implementation class for the handle (typically provided by the container) must be java.io.Serializable to allow the client to serialize a handle object.
