Thanks chris,
I have entity beans and stateless session beans dealing with business logic. and stateful session beans representing diferent kinds of users with diferent privilege. Is this suitable? Because each stateless session beans performs some related business logic. Say 4 of thems, then do u suggest that i have a
java beans that look up the stateless session bean and have the java bean in the httpsession?
Could you explain more about puting the handle instead of the reference please? thanks. If the httpsession gets invalidated will the stateful session bean get invalidated as well or will it still persis and need to remove it?
One more questions, is it good practice to create a stateless session bean wherever its service is needed? because stateless session beans could be resuse so, i think it is ok. What do u guys think?
