The ejb container can decide when it wants to instantiate your bean, some application servers could decide to do this on startup but this is not a requirement.
JBoss instantiates the bean when it is required and keeps the instantiated bean in a pool, beans are then used from the pool to meet the demand from the clients. Are you really sure that ejbCreate was not called at some point between instantiation and the business method being called? I would be surprised if JBoss has missed calling ejbCreate() View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3847696#3847696 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3847696 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
