Vikram, I think, the state (the value, this variable points to) is not guaranteed to be consistent. If some other client connects to this SLSB and stores some difft value, you would loose it in next invocation. >Am i not storing the state by doing so By this, you could be maintaining state till the duration of your current invocation stack only. Once your invocation is over, you may loose the value you have stored In the String. It is not guaranteed, next time if you invoke home.create(), container would return you the same instance, Instead container may choose to give you handle to any random bean instance!! Hence the state is not (guaranteed) to be carried over multiple invocations!!!. You are just trying to 'fool' the container... :) Also, check some appservers may use "pass by ref" semantics in local JVM, to optimize. Hope it helps. Cheers, BJ

Hello All, I wanted to clear out one query regarding SLSB, and there is not better place than this list to do so ... 1) Suppose I have a SessionBean containing an instance member say some string, which is initialized in the ejbCreate method. 2) The SessionBean is deployed as a Stateless Type . 3) Now i use the string value stored in instance member in one of the business methods. 4) The string value is not mutated, but just used as constant which has to be initiated in ejbCreate. 5) Everything goes fine . The issue is the behaviour of the Bean ... I have deployed it as a stateless bean than why am i able to use the string value stored in the instance field ... Am i not storing the state by doing so ... I am using JBoss 3.2.1 as my ejb container. Please comment.
