Hi! Maybe this sounds like a dumb question, but I'm confused. When I configure a component using components.xml: | <component name="xxx" class="acme.MyClass"> | <property name="prop">aValue</property> | </component> | and this is a SLSB: | @Stateless | public class MyClass | { | private String prop; | } | and I have several components all configured in the xml file of the same class (configured differently though), will the component 'xxx' have a valid configuration when invoked or do I need a @Stateful for this? I'm just speaking about the configuration and not storing any state from within a method of the SLSB.
