This is incorrect. ejbLoad is called "whenever the server needs to
resynch the state of the in-memory instance with the database", which
may not be whenever any business method is invoked. This is one of the
cases (id TX_REQUIRES_NEW is used, and some other conditions apply), but
there are lots more.
To know exactly when this happens is less than trivial. Lots of "if
this" scenarios to consider. But generally ejbLoad will be called for
example upon start of each transaction.

WLS should not call ejbLoad upon findByPrimaryKey, BUT both ejbLoad and
ejbFindByPrimaryKey use a helper method called refresh(). It might be
that method that is called. Are you 100% sure that it is ejbLoad and not
refresh() that is called?
