         return super.clone(); 

      } 

      catch( CloneNotSupportedException cnse )

Coding the clients 

Coding the client is pretty simple in the first place. The client only has to look up the Home 

Interface of the EJB it wants talk to, create or find an instance of this EJB through the 

Home Interface. Now methods on the EJB can be invoked and so on to perform the client's 

tasks. A simple client look like this: 

package test.client; 

import javax.naming.InitialContext; 

import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;  

import test.interfaces.TestSession; 

import test.interfaces.TestSessionHome; 

public class TestClient { 

   public static void main(String[] args){ 

      try { 

         InitialContext lContext = new InitialContext(); 

         TestSessionHome lHome = (TestSessionHome) lContext.lookup( "ejb/test/TestSession" 

); 

         TestSession lSession = lHome.create(); 

         // Get a new Id of the Test Entity 

         int lId = lSession.getNewEntityId(); 

         System.out.println( "New Entity Id is: " + lId ); 

         lSession.remove(); 

      } catch( Exception e ){ 

         e.printStackTrace(); 

      } 

   } 

} 

How to Run the Template 

Now we are ready to let this simple test compile, deploy and run. Three steps are necessary 

to do so: 

Ensure that your JBoss instance is running (which  jboss.home  property in the file 

 .ant.properties  points to)
