ejbCreate() is not invoked when an entity bean is created for an
existing row.
For an existing row, the container will invoke the following
* newInstance()
* setEntityContext(...)
* ejbActivate()
* ejbLoad()
The first two steps are not necessary if there is already a pooled
instance of the class available.
