Are there any real world examples of stateful session beans being used?
Most of the design patterns I've seen concerning EJBs say to use
stateless session beans wherever possible. Well, given that the state
in a stateful session bean must be regarded as totally transient anyhow,
it seems like it's *always* possible to use stateless session beans
instead. Are stateful session beans the black sheep of the EJB family?
Also, can someone explain the rationale to me for why a session bean is
designated as stateless or stateful only in the deployment descriptor?
Surely there are enough semantic differences between the two that the
decision to be stateful or stateless does not belong at deployment time!
Cheers,
Laird
