I had this question for quite some time. If you look at the lifecycle of the
stateful session bean, it has 3 states, does not exists, method ready and passivated.
I see an arrow from the method ready to does not exists, thats using the ejbRemove or timeout.THis is what I am seeing in the HEad First
EJB book. This link -
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/EJBConcepts9.html does not show the timeout from REady to does not exist arrow.
My question is how can a bean timeout from method ready state to does not exists and also passivate?
I there a print mistake in the book or is there a timeout on that arrow?
Sorry if you dont know about this book, but Head First is a fantastic series.
