Can i have an entity bean without any attributes declared.. but it has get and set methods where it gets value from an serializable java object.. i mean, the entity bean bound to a java object.

For examble i have an java object called Order

Order.java

class Order implements Serializable
{
   private String acNum;

   public String getAccNum()
   {
      return accNum;
   }
}

and a OrderBean(EntityBean)

OrderBean.java
class OrderBean implements EntityBean
{
   // all ejb related declarations

   // no attributes

   public String getAccNum(Order o)
   {
     return o.accNum;
   }
}

Is this possible..?

Anyhelp will be highly appriciated..

thanks

Yes you definately can have this kind of a setup. What i do not get is the senario you want to use this in!!
