I can see why you do not want the transaction to time out, but why does it
matter whether the bean is passivated? What does this effect, other than
performance? Doesn't the container activate the bean again as needed? I
would have to check the EJB spec, but I think a container is generally
within its rights to passivate whenever it wants. The purpose of passivation
is for scalability, which the container is supposed to manage for.
