How create EJB 2.1 Stateful Session Bean in a EJB 3.0 Session Bean

Question

Hi All,
We have been developing on EJB 2.1. We are now adding a module on EJB 3.0.
How can we "create" a stateful session bean with create method signature similar to create(String id)?
We have tried
// this is the remote interface
@EJB AddressBean abean;
But not working
Any help will be appreciated.

There is no explicit create() call for EJB 3.0 session beans. It doesn't really matter though
since you can accomplish the same thing by defining your own business method to act
as an initializer for whatever state you'd like. E.g.
@Remote
public interface FooInterface {
public void initialize(String id);
// ... other business methods
@EJB FooInterface fooRef;
fooRef.initialize("foo");
