Entity Bean Passivation

[nitin pahwa]

Hi,

I go through with EJB 1.1 specification.I have not understand this line

The container can choose to passivate an entity bean instance within a transaction.

Is it possible that entity bean can go for passive state during transaction?

Please clear my doubts

The container can choose to passivate an entity bean instance within a transaction. To passivate an instance, the container first invokes the ejbStore method to allow the instance to prepare itself for the synchronization of the database state with the instance�s state, and then the container invokes the ejbPassivate method to return the instance to the pooled state.

ps. google is your best friend
