Vani, You can use the petstore trick. Use a facade class which sychronizes each call to your session bean. That should do the trick.
This is a _famous_ problem with session beans. regards, the elephantwalker www.elephantwalker.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Vani H.S.

But I seem to run into deadlocks, because my session bean gets called concurrently. Please can anybody can tell me if there is a setting to allow concurrent calls so that, when a session bean method is called at one time, the EJB container blocks the concurrent method call and allows it to proceed when the previous call has completed? If not, how should this problem of concurrent calls be handled in orion? Please help. Thanks, Vani The allow-concurrent-calls element specifies whether a stateful session bean instance allows concurrent method calls. By default, allows-concurrent-calls is false. However, when this value is set to true, the EJB container blocks the concurrent method call and allows it to proceed when the previous call has completed. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
