I think having variable instances in a SLSB for state values is not a good idea, eventhough you can do it by your own risk. I even think in O'Reilly Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 book I read it was contraindicated. If you put a value in a variable instance, when next client for this SLSB instance use calls a method, the value will be there and the method invoked should initialize it again or at least ignore it. Of course you should have variable instances for other EJBs, DB connections, configuration parameters and so on... but never a variable meant to be changed during the execution of a method. So, in which scenario would it a problem to have two threads (and two clients) using the same SLSB instance? Or in others words, in which scenario could I have concurrence problems inside a SLSB? What I mean is, Spring doesn't have beans pooled and it doesn't seem to be a problem. Why is it so important to have SLSB pooled?
