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.

A Handle represents a portable reference to a remote EJB object, in that it can be serialized, passed across Java VM boundaries, and then used to reconstitute a remote reference to the same EJB object from which it was acquired.

For Handle interface  getEJBObject()is the only method, which returns a remote reference to the EJB object that it represents.

public interface Handle {
//	Public Instance Methods
	public abstract EJBObject getEJBObject () throws java.rmi.RemoteException;
}

Passed To: EJBHome.remove()

Returned By: EJBObject.getHandle()
