Hi,

People designing applications built from EJB components often encounter
the following dilemma: their application contains some data (an entity
of their application model) that need to be shared among several
components/clients, but which is not persistent, how should they
modelize such data ?
- a stateful session bean instance, according to the EJB spec, should
not be shared by several clients,
- while an entity bean instance can be shared, but is persistent ...

Building a BMP entity bean "with no persistence" is not satisfying and
sometime not possible.
Are there some EJB design patterns describing how transient shared data
should be modelized ?

Thanks,

Best Regards,

Fran�ois
