Hi,

when will i get to see "ejb passivate" message ?
and how can i make passivation faster in j2ee server?
Thanks

Like, maybe never! The container won't call it because it's been deployed as a stateless session bean. Remember, we implement session bean (not stateless session bean, or stateful session bean), so we must implement all methods, whether they are going to be called or not. Maybe you can deploy as a stateful bean and see what happens. Let us know.

Even if AdviceBean were stateful, it's up to the Container (by using its caching algorithm) to decide when to passivate. So, the bean provider does not have to do anything.
