Ian, the container provides a pool for stateless beans, so no need to worry about that. Unless you have more concurrent invocations of your beans methods than your limit of bean instances.
Kind regards, Andreas.

We have helper methods that get references to EJBs, something like: public Remote getEjb() { if (home == null) { Context initial = new InitialContext(); home = initial.lookup(JNDI_NAME); initial.close(); } return home.create(); } This is then called from lots of places and therfore we are creating lots of instances of the EJBs. Now I am wondering what happens when we reach the limit of the number of beans that we have defined in the descriptor files? I understand that if they were stateful beans, the container would passify one, saving its state so that the bean can be reused. In our case these are stateless beans, so what happens? Does my container simply reuse one? Does it implicitly call the ejbRemove method to free up an EJB? Is it something that is app server dependant? (We are using Weblogic 8.1 ;-) Thanks for any hints IV =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
