[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of EJB 3.0] - Re: Transient re-injection

The spec is a little vague on what is allowed to be passivated/activated vs what is re-injected or what must be reset in the lifecycle methods. The question is what is an "open resource". The test with the transient field and the resultant re-injection came about because of an old support or forum issue. anonymous wrote : | In advanced cases, a session object?s conversational state may contain open resources, such as open | sockets and open database cursors. A container cannot retain such open resources when a session bean | instance is passivated. A developer of a stateful session bean must close and open the resources in the | PrePassivate and PostActivate lifecycle callback interceptor methods.[8] | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4015869#...
