Sun has mentioned this in the stateless session (Section 6.8, EJB 2.0 Specification) :-
" The term �stateless� signifies that an instance has no state for a specific client. However, the instance variables of the instance can contain the state across client-invoked method calls. Examples of such states include an open database connection and an object reference to an EJB object. " ... "Because all instances of a stateless session bean are equivalent, the container can choose to delegate a client-invoked method to any available instance. This means, for example, that the Container may dele-gate the requests from the same client within the same transaction to different instances, and that the Container may interleave requests from multiple transactions to the same instance." ... "There is no fixed mapping between clients and stateless instances. The container simply delegates a cli-ent�s work to any available instance that is method-ready." I think it answers your doubt.
