Mike,
This is probably not a practical thing to do. Stateful
session beans are conversational but not long lived.
The state is maintained in memory and does not survive
a crash of the server, so some sort of persisted reference
on the client side is futile. The session bean may or may
not be accessible when you return...
I think what you're after is a stringified reference ala
CORBA. There is a mechanism in EJB that offers this
type of functionality for the home interface so you don't
have to do a jndi lookup, but not for the bean itself.
Without knowing specifically what you're after, entity
bean may suit your fancy....
cheers,
peter

Does anyone know how I could store a reference to a stateful session bean
that could be stored in a relational database (not ODBMS) for example?
I know I can get the Handle and get the object reference back from that, but
is there a way to get something like a String that could be used to recreate
the reference, then get the stateful bean?
Thanks for any feedback.
- Mike
