does entity beans are pooled?
is instances of beans are pooled? or once used and discarded entity beans are pooled?

[Santosh Pasupuleti]

Entity beans are pooled once they are removed. The removal procedure with respective to Entity beans has slight different meaning when compared to Stateful Session beans. WHen the client calls remove() then the data on the data source will be deleted and the bean goes back to pool.

I hope this helps.
