Hi: I have written a SLSB like following: public @Stateless class SwitchHealthMgrBean implements SwitchHealthMgrLocal,SwitchHealthMgrRemote { private Logger logger=Logger.getLogger(SwitchHealthMgrBean.class); private int count=0; public void start() { count=1; logger.info("Count#"+count); } public void stop() { logger.info("Count#"+count); } } And i have written a client(JSP page) to first invoke start(),second invoke stop(),the logger info indicates that it has maintained state between method invocation! Anyone can tell me why? Best Regards! Kingofhawks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3957671#...
