Marina,
to me it's pretty clear that all cited paragraphs talk about methods implemented on the bean class itself. All methods except ejbCreate are part of the interface SessionBean, hence you are forced to implement them on the bean class if it implements the interface.

Stefan!

Uh-oh... it's again the hidden characters that chop off most of my email :(. Trying again...

I can add "These callback methods must be implemented on the bean class itself (or on its superclasses)." to either the above par or the par marked with XXX that was the starting point of this discussion.
B. And while we are looking at the ejbXXX methods and interceptors, let's also look at the following compatibility note under section 4.9.3 "Lifecycle Callback Interceptor Methods":
"If the PostConstruct lifecycle callback interceptor method is the ejbCreate method, if the PreDestroy lifecycle callback interceptor method is the ejbRemove method, if the PostActivate lifecycle callback interceptor method is the ejbActivate method, or if the PrePassivate lifecycle callback interceptor method is the ejbPassivate method, these callback methods must be implemented on the bean class itself (or on its superclasses). "
Should the above be reworded to say the same as the 4.3.5 section or does it mean to say something different?
thanks,
