This approach illustrates how to invoke an EJB method that requires an instance of a user-defined object as one of its input parameters.

In a flow service you can map an instance of an arbitrary third-party object to a parameter defined in the input pipeline of an adapter service. Depending on the EJB being used, this object can be passed to one of its home methods or one of its bean methods. In this approach, it is the bean method (that is, the method defined in the Method to Invoke tab) that will receive the custom object.
