Hi,
See section 23.1.2 of the ejb-2_0-public draft 2-spec or just search for
the word static in the pdf file.
Quote "An enterprise Bean must not use read/write static fields. Using
read-only static fields is
allowed. Therefore, it is recommended that all static fields in the
enterprise bean class be
declared as final. This rule is required to ensure consistent runtime
semantics because while some EJB Containers may use a single JVM to execute
all enterprise bean�s instances, others may distribute the instances across
multiple JVMs."
Hope this helps,
Anil

I've failed to locate the section of the EJB specs which state no static
members. Please help.
