I have not used the RI, but have seen this behavior in other app servers. There is a misconception among the server vendors that ejbLoad only needs to be called when a transaction is started. This position is clearly incorrect and is not supported by the spec. All the servers I have used have corrected this bug, but it sounds like it crept into the RI. I would try posting on that list for help. Joseph Ess wrote: > I am using the J2EE to design a prototype application.
