Stateful Session bean pooling
843829Dec 12 2003 — edited Dec 16 2003Hi,
I'm confused about the concept of pooling of stateful session beans. It obvious to me that the bean itself cannot be pooled (like stateless beans) because of the conversaional state. However can the bean instance be pooled after the bean(state) is passivated ? (like entity beans)
I'm preparing for the SCBCD from Head first EJB and its says that stateful session beans cannot be pooled. Is this because of the discrepancy in the terminology for 'pooled' (resuse, identical etc) ... would it be more like they are cached ?
Best Regards
Anand
