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

[bdecoste]

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.
