Re: question on entity beans

[Juan Lorandi (Chile)]

It's mostly container specific behavior. You don't have any container-independant guarantees of behavior, and even so, some app-servers that allow clustering will behave differently based upon the DB capabilities and whether the app (EJB's) are clustered or not.   See the ejb 1.1 spec, section 9.1.10 -- Commit Options, for some degree of clarification. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Gaasch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Martes, 04 de Septiembre de 2001 16:29 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: question on entity beans Dawn,     Is that container specific?  Or is that defined behaviour in the spec?

The ejbStore() & ejbLoad() are only called the first time and the data is cached.  IF you are running in a non-clustered environment.   If you are running in a clustered environment and the bean is only a Read-Only bean, the container will have the same behavior - ejbStore() & ejbLoad() only the first time and cache the result.   However, if you are running in a clustered environment and the bean is a Read-Write bean, the ejbLoad() & ejbStore() are called every time.   Dawn L.
