You should do:
Exactly that.
Use set/unset to aquire resources you'll use and that are specific to a
transaction.
On the other hand, since B is a SLSB, you could create the instance of B in
the ejbCreate method;
It would be more efficient; and there�s no need to clean up (whenever a is
finally gc'd b will be as well).
Also, if you go for the second option, try to configure a pool for the
beans, therefore raising the gain.
