Hi there,

I need suggestion during Statful Session Bean implementation in cluster enviroment.

My questions are,

1. Is mandatory to implements java.io.Serializable when develop Sateful session bean?

public class MySessionBean
    implements SessionBean {
       public void ejbActivate() {}

       private SessionContext ctx;
       public void ejbRemove() {}

       public void ejbPassivate() {}

       public void setSessionContext(SessionContext ctx) {
         this.ctx = ctx;
       }

       public void ejbCreate() throws CreateException {}

}

2. what steps has to be performed If stateful session bean is not replicated in cluster enviornment either coding prospective or server side.
