No, I dont think so. According to specs., in the life cycle of a session
bean, while going from a "does not exist" state to "method ready" state ,
both setSessionContext() and ejbCreate() methods "have" to be called. I
think Rickard was driving home some other point.

according to you some of the instances in the pool can be there for which
setSessionContext() is not called ?
