Hello, I think there is a bug in Orion 1.1.37 where all the resources that are used by a SFSB are not released at the end of a transaction. Here's the scenario. A SFSB in its ejbCreate () performs a findByPrimaryKey on the home of a CMP entity bean. It then invokes a method on the entity bean and the transaction completes. The SFSB retains a reference to the entity bean instance. It appears that the entity bean is still locked by the SFSB. A problem is encountered when another SFSB instance is created and it tries to access the same entity primary key. Am I correct in assuming that a SFSB may maintain references to other entity beans? And that this should not interfere with other SFSB accessing the entity beans? In my code, when I changed the SFSB to SLSB, everything works fine. Of course, I need to pass the entity bean's primary key to all session bean methods. Hence, I think that this might be a bug with the SFSB. Please let me know whether I'm doing something wrong or incorrectly using SFSB. Thanks, Vidur
