Does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with a handle to a stateless SesionBean that has timed out? I am not clear on how long a handle can be assumed to be valid (if at all). I get the impression from the EJB spec that the handle is perfectly safe to use, persist and then use again. However, it also says that if the bean times out, you get a NoSuchObjectException. This suggests to me that my code would either have to 1) always assume the bean may have timed out and therefore the handle is suspect or 2) be aware of the time out parameters (bad idea). Has any body stored handles to SessionBeans in an EntityBean and then reused them later? Any comments on the subject are appreciated. -Gary __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
