EJB Database persistency

[Ebru NAMOGLU]

I do some tests on JONAS EJB Server and see a problem. Here's my test:   1. I created a container managed EntityBean which is dealing with a table called Rules. 2. I executed a client that only runs findAllRules method. (This method doesn't require Transaction and the passivation-time-out attribute is set 60 seconds for this test. ) 3. After execution of the client I manually updated the Rules table CustomerId column to new values. 4. Then I executed the client again.     Database:  When I check the database manually it shows the new values for about 60 secs, however after 60 seconds it shows the old values. From the Bean: It always shows the old values and never gets the values that I have updated manually.     Note: Even though I only run a select statement within the bean (findAllRules), after about 60 seconds I see on database that an update statement which updates the Rules table CustomerId column to the old values executed. So I lost the CustomerId new values.   Is there any solution of this?
