Stateful Session Bean can never be rentrant. They throw an exception if a loopback is attempted.
Entity Beans can be rentrant.

Hi,
They can never be re entrant because the ejbobject which intercepts the request can never decide whether the request is from the same thread or from diffrent thread. But Iam not sure how the entity beans are intellegent enuf to make this decision, when u make entity beans re entrant.
