No. 
Container creates the bean instance in the following steps. 
1.newInstance(). 2.setSessionContext() 3.ejbCreate(). 
Hence ejbCreate() is required for the beans.

No. As per the EJB specs the ejbCreate method is required. Stateful session can have one or more overloaded create methods but stateless session beans should have only one create method with zero argument.

The ejbCreate() methods is part of the bean's lifecycle, so, the compiler will not return an error because there is no ejbCreate() method.

However, the J2EE spec is explicit:

• the home interface of a Stateless Session Bean must have a single create() method with no arguments, while the session bean class must contain exactly one ejbCreate() method, also without arguments.
• Stateful Session Beans can have arguments (more than one create method)

No. EBcreate method always needed since its executed for create method of a bean which is needed by client to get a remote instance of bean.

It might not throw a compilation error. But during deployment,it would  throw an error. The bean would not get deployed.

SessionBean is a interface.So we can implement all abstract methods . other wise we can declare our class has abstract class.If do not immplement ejbCreate() u do not getBean instace ( remote instance) No way to call ur remote methods.Finally we must implement ejbCreate() method.

We cannot have a session bean without ejbCreate().

• the bean class must implement the session bean interface. ejbcreate is declared in the interface.
• ejbCreate() is a container call back method which is invoked when the cleint calls create on the home stub class, hence if it is not called the life cycle of the bean is not complete, in which case there will be no session bean to use.
• Wehn we call create on stateful session bean each time a new bean is created, and when we call this on the stateless bean the bean is pulled otu of the pool and assigned the ejbobject which  the client gets.

We must have a  ejbCreate(); to create a Session bean .
