That's what i thing. If I'm wrong, please don't leave me in the hole.
The location of one EB is transaparent to it clients (the bean could leave in the
same address space or not). It is also vendor dependent whether or not all instances
of a bean live in the same JVM. Because non-final static fields couldn't be shared
by many JVMs, it doesn't make sense to use them. Your application will become
inconsistent once the value of the static field changes in one JVM. The problem
doesn't occur for static "final" fields.
It doesn't matter which distribution scheme(RMI, CORBA...) is used.
