The answers are right.
Unlike the entity bean and stateful session bean, invoking the create() method for stateless bean does not result in a call to the bean's ejbCreate() method. In stateless session beans, calling the EJB home's create() method results in the creation of an EJB object for the client, but that is all. The ejbCreate() method of a stateless session bean is only invoked once in the life cycle of an instance--when it is transitioning from the Does Not Exist state to the Method-Ready Pool. It isn't reinvoked every time a client requests a remote reference to the bean.
