Victor,
There is a footnote in the first paragraph of 9.1.7.1 that includes
"Never" and "Supports".
9.1.7.1 does say that ejbLoad and ejbStore should typically be no-ops
for an entity bean used in an unspecified transaction context and that
the business methods should go directly to the database for the latest
data.
But it does guarantee that once a new entity instance is created,
ejbLoad will be called before the first business method. (But not
necessarily before each business method.)
So... it looks to me as though the behavior Laurel Neustadter reports is
inconsistent with the spec.
