Life Cycle Method True / False

[Amirr Rafique]

True / False

The life-cycle method PostConstruct, PreDestroy, PostActivation and PrePassivation are called only once for a Stateful Session Bean.

Please suggest

Hi

I think that the PostActivation and PrePassivation can occur more than once, if you deal with an application server.

Just to be more clear, the PostConstruct and PreDestroy are called per "instance" of the stateful session bean.

Right.
Moreover the PrePassivation method is called each time when a statefull bean instance is passivated (serialized to temporary storage) and the PostActivate is called when the bean is activated (deserialized to bean instance).
