In addition to shailesh sinha's comments:
From the EJB 2.0 spec, section 7.8
"The term "stateless" signifies that an instance has no state for a
specific client. However, the instance variables of the instance can contain
the state across client-invoked method calls. Examples of such states
include an open database connection and an object reference to an EJB
object."
