Unneeded calls to ejbStore

[DaveFord]

The following block of code generates a customer pick list. It only READS
from the database and does NOT WRITE to the database. However, I have added
a println to CompanyBean's ejbStore method and it reports that ejbStore is
being called five times (once for each time through the while loop). Why is
ejbStore being called?

Iterator it = companyHome.findByName("Wal").iterator();
while(it.hasNext()){
  Company comp = (Company)it.next();
  System.out.println( comp.gentile() );
}

Thanks,
