"Stateful Session beans do not participate in instance pooling but rather the container may choose to evict a stateful Session bean from memory to conserve resources. The bean is passivated (i.e. has it�s �state� serialized to disk) and disassociated with the
EJB Object. The client is completely unaware of this performance move on the part of the container. When the client invokes another method on the EJBObject, a new instance is created and populated with the passivated state (called �activation�)."
I am little confused here. When container passivate the STATEFUL session bean, wht happens to that bean. Does it get removed from memory at all or it's initializes state is being reused?
any clarifications plz?
