Nope, they don't do this. And I quote
(http://www.beasys.com/products/weblogic/server/clustering.pdf):
"The activation service can avoid concurrency conflicts here simply by
relying on underlying database locking. In a
WebLogic cluster, EJB entity beans default to this approach."
So they don't do it the difficult way but relies on the db. By doing
this you cannot do caching between tx's (unless you are doing CMP in
which case it is possible to be a little more clever with timestamping
and such).
