JR44657: UNABLE TO CREATE EJB IMPORT BINDING IF EJB JAVA INTERFACES DON'T INHERIT DIRECTLY FROM THE APPROPRIATE EJBOBJECTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• USER AFFECTED:
  ==> IID users trying to use EJB Import Bindings
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  ==> User has session beans whose interfaces inherit from
  EJBObject, but not directly (there are subinterfaces in the
  middle). In this case, the user tries to add the java interface
  to an Assembly Diagram import, and tries to create an EJB
  Binding (with java interface). However, the resulting dialog
  does not let the user select the interface, as IID
  currently only checks immediate parents of the interface to see
  if its a valid EJB interface
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Unable to create EJB import binding if EJB java Interfaces does
  not inherit directly from the appropriate EJBObjects

  see if its a valid EJB interface.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix validates an EJB interface based on its ancestor
  interfaces, rather than just the immediate parents.
