Hi Vishali,
Your requirement doesn't sound weird at all. I have run into several cases
where I needed "transient" entity beans -- anywhere you require sharing of
volatile server-side components that don't require persistence. A good
example from financial services is a market data server. I need to have
multiple clients simultaneously accessing the latest securities pricing
information, but I don't want to incur the overhead of storing these
components to disk.
>From my reading, the EJB spec implicitly assumes entity bean persistence, so
support for this capability is likely to come in vendor-specific flavors.
<vendor>
The Persistence PowerTier product does provide support for transient
container-managed entity beans through an extension to the JTA which allows
you to have non-persistent shared entity beans in application server cache.
</vendor>
Hope this helps,
...Jim
