Example  8.1 Implementing Business Delegate Pattern - ResourceDelegate

// imports

public class ResourceDelegate {

  // Remote reference for Session Facade
  private ResourceSession session;

  // Class for Session Facade's Home object
  private static final Class homeClazz =
  corepatterns.apps.psa.ejb.ResourceSessionHome.class;

  // Default Constructor. Looks up home and connects
  // to session by creating a new one

      ResourceSessionHome home = (ResourceSessionHome)
        ServiceLocator.getInstance().getHome(

      session = home.create();
    } catch(ServiceLocatorException ex) {
      // Translate Service Locator exception into
      // application exception
      throw new ResourceException(...);
    } catch(CreateException ex) {
      // Translate the Session create exception into
      // application exception
      throw new ResourceException(...);
    } catch(RemoteException ex) {
      // Translate the Remote exception into
      // application exception
      throw new ResourceException(...);
    }
  }

  // Constructor that accepts an ID (Handle id) and 
  // reconnects to the prior session bean instead
  // of creating a new one
  public BusinessDelegate(String id) 
    throws ResourceException {
    super();
    reconnect(id);
  }

  // Returns a String ID the client can use at a
  // later time to reconnect to the session bean

  // The following are the business methods
  // proxied to the Session Facade. If any service 
  // exception is encountered, these methods convert
  // them into application exceptions such as

  // forth.
