Stateless Beans & Static Class Methods

[Arun Murugesan]

Hi

May be a basic question. Sorry for that.
Can anyone tell the difference between having a Stateless Session Bean and
having the samething implemented inside a static method of a class ?

For example I have simple case to add two numbers with a method Add( num1,
num2 ). I can have this in a Math class.
I can call Add without instatiating Math. So I am not doing a "new" in this
case.

Any good reason why I should implement something like above as a stateless
session bean.

In what way stateless bean gives advantage ?

Regards
Arun M
