Hi I have question related to entity beans and longterm connections. From Sun's documentation (http://java.sun.com/j2ee/j2sdkee/techdocs/guides/ejb/html/Database2.html#11316) : "After instantiating an entity bean and moving it to the pooled stage, the EJB container invokes the setEntityContext method. Conversely, the EJB container invokes the unsetEntityContext method when the entity bean leaves the pooled stage and becomes eligible for garbage collection. To retain a database connection for its entire lifespan, an entity bean connects in the setEntityContext method and disconnects in the unsetEntityContext method." It works with Sun's reference implementation; however, it doesn't work with JOnAS. I must obtain a database connection from the DataSource object for each method that performs database access. Is it simply an unsupported feature or I should consider JOnAS' approach as effective as having a persistent database connection for each entity bean? I just want to be sure that managing a database connection for each method is the best way to develop bean-managed persistence entity bean with JOnAS. Thanks!
