Lifecycle of the Stateful Session Bean

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there any pooling done on the session bean instances (Stateful/Stateless)?

My question is on 'remove' what will happen to the bean instance, gets garbage collected?, goes back to the pool if there is one?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi All,

I got the answer for my question.

The EJB Container keeps the stateless session(not stateful), entity, and message-driven bean instances in pools. All instances in a pool are equivalent and the EJB Container chooses a random instance to serve the client requests.

Thanks,

Prasad
