Consider following incomplete example bean with BMP:

class TestBean
{
  List l = new ArrayList()

  void ejbCreate()
  {
  }

  void test(String a)
  {
    l.add(a);
  }
}

As far as I understand you, in this example, your algorithm will
make one list from prototype object shared across all instances.
How you will handle this case?
