Vikram,
When a session EJB is termed as "Stateless", it refers to the state
associated with a client being serviced by this component. SLSB's are free to maintain
internal working state, provided the bean developer assumes the responsibility of
synchronizing them wrt to all instances of the SLSB's. In your case you end up
maintaining this "internal state" as a constant value, which alternately, you could
have just as well picked up as an EJB environment entry from the deployment
descriptor.

Subject: Query for SLSB.
Hello All,
I wanted to clear out one query regarding SLSB, and there is not better
place than this list to do so ...
1) Suppose I have a SessionBean containing an instance member say some
string, which is initialized in the ejbCreate method.
2) The SessionBean is deployed as a Stateless Type .
3) Now i use the string value stored in instance member in one of the
business methods.
4) The string value is not mutated, but just used as constant which has to
be initiated in ejbCreate.
5) Everything goes fine .
The issue is the behaviour of the Bean ... I have deployed it as a stateless
bean than why am i able to use the string value stored
in the instance field ... Am i not storing the state by doing so ...
I am using JBoss 3.2.1 as my ejb container.
Please comment.
Regards,
Vikram Naik
