If they are static, they cannot be final.

Hi Mallika Shah,

The answer is in the EJB3 specs 21.1.2:

An enterprise bean must not use read/write static fields. Using read-only static fields is allowed. Therefore, it is recommended that all static fields in the enterprise bean class be declared as final.


This rule is required to ensure consistent runtime semantics because while some EJB containers may use a single JVM to execute all enterprise bean�s instances, others may distribute the instances across multiple JVMs.

Hope this helps,

Beno�t

Thanks Benoit.

You have cleared my doubt..read the point from specs which you mentioned..
Also the same thing is mentioned in Pro EJB 3 -

For Stateless Session beans,static fileds should not be used,primarily because of bean redeployment issues..

As written in EJB specs, does that mean-"FOR ALL THE KINDS OF BEANS WHETHER SESSION , MDB" that if the beans use static fields , they should be declared FINAL.?

thanks for the prompt reply ,
mallika
