Andy!

frankly - why would I create value objects in the session bean? Of course they are 
created in ejbLoad.

You are right, JBoss was runnning in a Sun JDK, WAS on the IBM JDK (both RedHat AS 
3.0). And the main problem we had was excessive garbage collection that eventually 
lead to a crash (which made me advocate using a different JDK like JRockit or the IBM 
JDK - the tests just haven't happened yet).

I didn't mean to badmouth either application server (at least not in this particular 
mail :). Both have their purpose and application. Basically I was just pleased to say 
that after all the hassle I had to go through, getting things to run on WebSphere, 
there were actually reasonable results.

However - you got me interested in that classloading bug you mentioned. Would you care 
to elaborate or give me a pointer so that I can read it up?

Thanks,
