Thanks Vlada, but that doesn't quite clear it up.
ejbCreate will essentially load the bean, since it is required to set the
bean's instance variables before returning. With BMP, these are the same
instance variables that ejbLoad sets. In the spec, these instance variables
are called the beans "cached state".
Let me restate:
Is it a valid state transition for an entity bean with BMP to go from pooled
to ready with a call to ejbActivate, and then immediately back to pooled
with a call to ejbRemove, without ejbCreate or ejbLoad being called by the
container?
Another way to state this is:
Should ejbRemove on an entity with BMP be coded to only depend on the
primary key in the entity context, or can it assume that its other instance
variables (cached state) have been set by either ejbLoad or ejbCreate?
