According to Valesky's book, "...finder methods are invoked on beans that
are in the pooled state; thus, when you're implementing a finder method, you
shouldn't try to access the object's state." (Likely) another bean will be
activated and do the ejbLoad. Monson-Haefel's book says the same thing but
then gives an example where the ejbFBPK method does (the equivalent of) a
refresh. I'd like to think Valesky's approach is correct.
Valesky gives a BMP ejbFBPK example where the query is checking for
existence (count(*)), and not actually retrieving data. So your ejbFBPK
method should not be calling refresh(), imho.
