EJBLocalObject

```
public interface EJBLocalObject
```
The EJBLocalObject interface must be extended by all enterprise beans' local interfaces. An enterprise bean's local interface provides the local client view of an EJB object. An enterprise bean's local interface defines the business methods callable by local clients.
The enterprise bean's local interface is defined by the enterprise bean provider and implemented by the enterprise bean container.
Enterprise beans written to the EJB 3.0 and later APIs do not require a local interface that extends the EJBLocalObject interface. A local business interface can be used instead.

Since:

EJB 2.0

  - getEJBLocalHome
```
EJBLocalHome getEJBLocalHome()
                      throws EJBException
```
    Obtain the enterprise bean's local home interface. The local home interface defines the enterprise bean's create, finder, remove, and home business methods that are available to local clients.
    
    Returns:
    
    A reference to the enterprise bean's local home interface.
    
    Throws:
    
    EJBException - Thrown when the method failed due to a system-level failure.
  - getPrimaryKey
```
java.lang.Object getPrimaryKey()
                        throws EJBException
```
    Obtain the primary key of the EJB local object.
    This method can be called on an entity bean. An attempt to invoke this method on a session bean will result in an EJBException.
    Note: Support for entity beans is optional as of EJB 3.2.
    
    Returns:
    
    The EJB local object's primary key.
    
    Throws:
    
    EJBException - Thrown when the method failed due to a system-level failure or when invoked on a session bean.
  - remove
```
void remove()
     throws RemoveException,
            EJBException
```
    Remove the EJB local object.
    
    Throws:
    
    RemoveException - The enterprise bean or the container does not allow destruction of the object.
    
    EJBException - Thrown when the method failed due to a system-level failure.
  - isIdentical
```
boolean isIdentical(EJBLocalObject obj)
             throws EJBException
```
    Test if a given EJB local object is identical to the invoked EJB local object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - An object to test for identity with the invoked object.
    
    Returns:
    
    True if the given EJB local object is identical to the invoked object, false otherwise.
    
    Throws:
    
    EJBException - Thrown when the method failed due to a system-level failure.
