If you're writing from that domain you should know ;-) I think that the spec prohibits _concurrent_ access from different threads, not holding references to a bean.
To be able to handle concurrent calls from different threads would make coding of session beans(and/or the containers that host them) a lot more difficult than it is, as the session bean would need to be able to track different transactional contexts and be reentrant. It doesn't make much sense to store a SL SessionBean instance except to spare the lookup of the Home instance and creation process; I'm pretty much intrigued if someone could come up with a reason to get a handle to a SLSB. As for SFSBs, well, it's pretty obvious why... Juan Pablo Lorandi Chief Software Architect Code Foundry Ltd. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Barberstown, Straffan, Co. Kildare, Ireland.
