Pass Value/Transfer Object to ejbCreate?

Question

I'm currently doing some entity bean programming and I'm thinking if it's possible to pass a Value Object to the ejbCreate method rather than a long list of parameters for all fields in an EJB.
You see most EJB tutorials that I've come across write ejbCreate as a method that takes in parameters for all fields/properties.
So we call it using say:
customerHome.create(customerId, customerName, ...blah, blah, blah,...); Since we have a Value Object, why don't we just have something like this:
CustomerVO c = new CustomerVO(customerId, customerName, ...blah...);
customerHome.create(c);Doesn't this look better and cleaner?
Anyway, how does the EJB methods mapping works? Why do I call the method .create(...) in Home interface and in the Bean implementation I've .ejbCreate(...) method instead?
What about the rest, say ejbLoad(), ejbStore, ejbRemove()? Just strip all the "ejb" infront and call them .store(), .load(), .remove() in Home interface?
Also, why do only .create(..) appear in Home interface itself? Are the rest (.store(), .load(), .remove())inherited and therefore not have to be specified?
