You will never get the changed state unless the object you are passing is Remote. ie. you have to pass the remote reference. and the change will be immediately available to any client have that reference. Another method as mentioned by Mark is Value object pattern. whose purpose is to bring the bulk data from the server to the client. Check out this pattern at the following url

This stateless EJB is deployed in iAS 6.0 and both rich client and the App server runs under Solaris 2.6. Though there is no problem in invoking the ejb method, and the method can access the object's data, the updated object inside the method is not showing up the changed value to the calling rich client application. The EJB is deployed with both RMI-IIOP enabled option and disabled with pass by value option. Could any one help us by throwing some light on this? Thanks.
