For a stateful session bean method signature would include some arguments where as for a stateless session bean the method signature is without any parameters.ie no state would be associated with the client.

For a stateful session bean in the home interface the create(..)method signature will have some arguments where as for a stateless session bean the create() method of the home interface will have no arguments.ie no state would be associated with the client.

The create method in a stateless session bean cannot have arguments, and can only have a single method called create(). While create in Stateful bean can have arguments and could be any method starting with create string eg. create<method>(arg1, arg2,...). Although it is not compiler checked but in stateless bean the ejbPassivate() and ejbActivate() methods has to be empty as these functions are never called by EJB container. As conceptually in stateful session bean we might need to store the clients information hence arguments in create<method> are necessary. While in stateless bean we don't, hence no arguments are necessary. It's intutive isn't. I my life I haven't seen such a futuristic server programming tool as EJB.

u can just check the home interface of the session bean in order to detemine the whether it is stateless or stateful.

if there is single create method in home interface with no argument then we can say it is stateless session beans whereas in stateful session bean we can have diffrerent versions of create method in order to have initial state according to client.
